they were shiny once

I'm cleaning today in preparation for final lift off.

I've decided the dirtiest places in most people's houses are the burner bibs on stoves. That's certainly true at my place.

They start off shiny, and only gradually get dirty, so we don't really notice that much. Over about a year they'll become black and crusty, unless you wash them every time you cook on em.

I haven't hardly touched mine since I've been here, which is three years. Black. Crusty, and headed for the dumpster.
