So this blog post practically writes itself! Saroja sent me a link to an article on the Kitchn website about paper towels. Robin has always been pretty anti-paper towel, preferring to go with re-usable or washable cloths or rags or that sort of thing. I, however, do still like to use paper towels from time to time - so typically I end up buying the small package of paper towels that were made from recycled materials and stashing them out of sight somewhere in the house. So when I saw this article from Saroja, I expected more of the same.
Imagine my surprise then, when I found that the article is actually pro-paper towel, even though it is written by other eco-friendly health-nuts like Saroja. Sure, they're not like "we love paper towels and use them replace dish cloths like they show in all the TV commercials!" but they do recognize that paper towels have their place for some uses in the house - which is pretty much exactly how I feel. Case in point, the very day Saroja sent me this article I had snuck out the paper towels and was using them to clean out the grease trap in the BBQ. That's exactly the kind of thing that paper towels are great at - and after finding other like-minded souls among the eco-friendly health nut community, the paper towels in our house may finally be able to come out of hiding....
