Dennis (house-mate) is big on paper plates. I use the real deal and wash
up as soon as I'm done. Had too many heavy meals (not really that heavy,
just too heavy for paper plates) wind up on the floor/counter/table from
trying to skip the washing up. It's easier overall and better for the
environment to use more substantial tableware than paper. Especially with
soupy or oily foods.
