DEAR MISS MANNERS: I baked cinnamon rolls and decided to share part of the batch with a friend. I packed some in a container and sent them home with said friend.
At a later meeting, my friend returned the container, covered in residual frosting. I appreciated that they remembered to return it, but found it somewhat rude that it was dirty. When sharing cookware, whose responsibility is the washing?
GENTLE READER: The one who got the free cinnamon rolls.
