I reuse paper plates. I just wipe them off, put them back in the package, and use them the next time. I even use them when guests come over. I just hand them a plate, and they’re like, “What the heck is this…there’s a stain on it?”
I just reply, “That’s not a stain, it’s the pattern on the plate. It’s abstract. Art. I bought it that way. I think the actual name of the work of art depicted is called ‘Grease Stain.’”
“Well, why does this hamburger taste like lasagna?”
“Oh, that’s probably the spices we used on the burger. It’s that new Italian spice from McCormick’s.”
