...do you do the dishes while people are still there? Or do you wait until everyone has left and then tackle the huge stack of dishes?

Last night, we had some friends over for dinner and I did the dishes as each one was done. It actually worked out pretty nicely, since we have an open kitchen (so I didn't just disappear) and Bee was also there to chat with our friends. I'm usually not a huge fan of a host disappearing for an hour after dinner to clean up, but I see the appeal of already having all the dishes done by the time your friend's leave!

When you have people over for dinner, do you do the dishes while people are still there?
