That's what I do.

We use the dishwasher when we have company but now it's very rare that
we have company. With just the two of us there are not enough dishes
and half the time we eat from paper plates. The cats food bowls are
washed by hand too but very often they are fed on our used paper
plates. We much prefer to eat fried eggs from paper plates, they suck
up most of those grease calories. We buy the least costly paper
plates by the case, $9.99 for a case of 1,000 at BJs... just plain
white with no designs and no plastic coating so they are very
absorbant and compostable. Paper plates work well for any fried
foods, sandwiches, and snacks... for me a paper towel on a cutting
board is very sufficiant for a sandwich. My wife drinks about a dozen
cups of tea a day but she hand washes her own cups same as each
evening I hand wash my Crystal Palace glass. When I used to live
alone I had no dishwasher, I had no use for one.
We have a top of the line Maytag, with all the extras, and a SS
interior, but we rarely use it for other than storing used plastic
freezer containers for washing and turn it on at most four times a
year, plastic freezer containers don't wash well by hand, especially
when stained by tomato sauce. I also hand wash all my
cookware/bakeware, and anything made of aluminum, like my meat
grinder. I also hand wash any items that I will need to use again
soon, and of course all cutlery and kitchenware with wooden handles. I
can't understand why yoose who live alone use a dishwasher for one
place setting... how much effort is it to hand wash one plate, one
salad/soup bowl and one fork and spoon. I hand wash with very hot
water and wear heavy duty rubber gloves. I like those green Nitrile
gloves, I don't feel the hot water and they last forever, okay, ten
years, maybe longer.
