Peg Kerr's Journal

I rarely use paper towels. Mostly just for draining fried things like bacon. I have a whole lot of rags, dish towels, and dish cloths I use instead. Back in the years when I couldn't afford paper towels I developed other strategies and now they're just habit. I am always surprised how much of our laundry involves squares and rectangles (sheets, towels, table cloths, napkins, kitchen linens, rags..... and so on and so on).

One does need a system for dealing with damp things in the laundry pile, lest mildew spoil some favorite article of clothing.
