A couple of things.  First, after we bought our '87 Westy we went to the
local outlet mall and furnished it with really nice flatware and dishes for
reasonable cost.  Because the stuff can rattle around, my wife (decent
seamstress) took some flannel sheets and made bags to hold the plates,
teflon pan, 3 qt pan, pan lid, coffee/tea mugs etc.  It keeps them totally
quiet and maybe even a bit cleaner.  Bags don't have to be a work of art.

I wonder how many know just how large the sink is ???   Turns out you can
put an 8 qt (or litre) bowl under there.  So we have a Rubbermaid one for
dishwashing and two stainless ones nested there for rinse water and/or
salads.  Teapot goes inside the top bowl and extra dishrags and hand towels
keep that quiet.  Stainless bowls were from Target store.

Nice to hear the list topics turning to subjects of Spring.
