Totally depends on the day. Sometimes, I clean as I go, to the extent
that by the time I'm finished eating, all that needs to be dealt with is
what I've been eating off, out of and with. Other times I just stack
stuff up to deal with later.

One influence is how tidy the kitchen already is; if it's already a war
zone, I'm not prone to wash as I go because it's not gonna much help the
state of things, unless I "catch up" by cleaning up as stuff that needs no
attention is cooking (which I sometimes do). If the kitchen is already
clean, there's a decent chance that I'll clean as I go to keep it that way.
