Dishes. I would absolutely cook even more. We do not have a full dishwasher, just a tiny one. I would use cast iron even more often as well. We have a ton of dishes as it is.
When I did have a full sized dishwasher, it wasn't as bad, although you still cannot put a lot in there.

Or, or, or... truly least favorite is anything crawlspace related. Guess it's a toss-up between the crawlspace and the dishes.

This is not including garden chores, of course. Such as weeding

That's a hard question.  Milking cows, weeding, dishes, gathering firewood and laundry are all great ones.  It's too hard to pick.

Maybe dishes, I to would cook more and be more creative with cooking if dishes weren't a thing.  We have no dish washer -- I'm the primary dishwasher.  But in return I don't have to milk as much.
