The Cook’s Kitchen

Some people already think washing dishes by hand is fun, and no, I don’t know what’s wrong with them.  But for the rest of us, maybe a cool pair of funky rubber gloves can make the chore a little more bearable?  These gloves were even featured on ABC’s hit show Desperate Housewives, and if it’s good enough for them…

These all-purpose, extra-thick rubber gloves come in a wide array of eye-catching colors and patterns, like polka dots, vintage cherries and even red roosters and leopard prints. 

You can buy them at your local Sur La Table ($14.95), online on their site or at bubblesofrockport.com ($13.50 and bigger selection).
