Dinner Plates?

Its seems like every night Ben and I have an argument over whether or not we should use "real" plates or paper plates. I personally believe that inexpensive paper plates are a much better option that having to wash more dishes at night. What do you think?

Not having a dishwasher has made me hyper-aware of every dish I use. I am in full support of paper plates, and to be quite honest, I am not entirely sure why I haven't adopted this practice myself. I have a sink full of dishes and have for the past week. Ugh!

P.S. I really need you to make posts more often. I'm dying here!

Since I am the self-proclaimed recycle girl at my school, at first, I think "BONNIE! Don't use consumeables so quickly!!!" Then, my recycle alter-ego said, "Wait, it would use up a lot of water to wash the other plates..." SO... my solution: don't use either! Start a new family tradition where you eat right out of the serving dish! =) Love ya!

I like the look of real dishes, I don't care if I have to wash them. For petes sake theres only the 2 of you. If you don't use your dishes when will you use them. I like to dress up every dinner I make, when I cook its a big deal and I want it to look nice, nothing dresses down a meal like a paper plate.

When Ben cooks, he can use real plates. When you cook, you can use paper!

I have to admit we use the real plates, although I am sure Kory would love the paper idea, because he usually ends up washing the dishes. I feel bad for the guy.
