The other night, I had a dining table of two people. An older gentlemen in his late 50’s and a yuppy middle-class white guy in his 30’s.
I believe when I describe someone as a “yuppy middle-class white guy” we all know what I mean, right? These are the men that will overpay thousands of dollars [...]
Even if the guy’s dressed in his favorite old white tee shirt, with this napkin at his neck he’ll actually look like he made the effort to get "dressed for dinner". Awesome just awesome, get them over at spoonsisters.com, $6 for a package of 20.
Eating the NapkinsMy friend Kevin Honeycutt has a brilliant mind. I am sure you have met people like Kevin, people who have more good ideas in a couple of minutes than you or I could hope to have in a year. Kevin seems to always be trying new stuff, and, I think because he is an artist and author at heart, he is always coming up with some really good chewable quotes. Recently, I had a discussion
One of the easiest ways to help the planet is to consume less. And just over a year ago I made it my goal to limit my consumption. I wanted to find the little, easy things that I, myself, could do to help the environment.
It started with switching from paper towels to washclothes for cleaning up my daughter after meals. Then I switched to using CFL bulbs, washing laundry in cold water, and
I was in Cilantro Cafe that day when I noticed that their brown recycled Napkins are manufactured in Lebanon , well Bravo for Lebanon , shame on us . Even the recycled Napkins used in the cafes are now imported , costing us millions of dollars !! Just little info , as far as I understand there is a modest recycle industry in Egypt which is monopolized as usual by one of the NDPians !!

Mealtime at our house is getting increasingly messy. It’s not just the high chair, the floor, me and the dogs that are covered in food by the end of dinner. It’s all of the areas of our son’s shirt that are not covered by his bib.
Answer: Silly Billyz long sleeved bibs. (They’re sold in North America through Live Love Dream Inc. for only $12.)
Available in nine kid-approved colour combinations and 2 sizes, they’re made of anti-pill fleece on the front and rip proof nylon on the sleeves. (Rip proof = good for teething babies who chew their sleeves and anything else they can reach!) They have a velcro closure that’s large enough to make the neck adjustable - very handy for little people with teeny necks! My son tends to pull all but the most floppy terry bibs off because he gets too hot, but the open back feature of Silly Billyz long sleeved bibs allows him to stay nice and cool. He also has “issues” with many crinkly plastic bibs, bu
Before I get started, let me point you in this direction if you missed it earlier.

Here's a fun little thing I've done for years. Instead of barreling through paper napkins (since goodness knows this family generates enough trash already), I made these simple little cloth napkins out of gingham. There's no sewing involved--just cut 11x11 squares of gingham (available anywhere you can by fabric, and it's usually very inexpensive). Fringe the edges by pulling out horizontal strands starting at the top of the cloth; you only need to pull out 5-6 strands. That's it!
I was even able to find a cheap little basket at Hobby Lobby to store them in on our table's center. We use them for regular, everyday napkin needs--when they become stained with spaghetti sauce they are cheap and easy to replace. It saves a few trees and makes regular meals seem a little more special.

Something happened the other day that still makes me laugh - and I know some of you had to have the same experience when you were younger. We were at a playdate and one of the kids spilled something on the floor. Now, on the table next to all this wonderful food were bright yellow napkins - you know, the "good napkins". The thick ones that were only put out on special occasions. So I immediately asked "Should I pick it up with the good napkins?" Obviously none of these women lived with my mother because they all laughed at me. The good napkins they asked?Someone here MUST know what I mean. We had the regular napkins (500 for like $1.00 napkins), then we had the paper towels (only in extreme emergency or to pick up dog shit), and then we had the GOOD napkins. Those were the ones that were put out on holidays, birthdays, or when company came over. They were the thicker ones, the ones that cost more money, lol. We were not allowed to use these napkins unless there was company. Pe
