I love this...it is always encouraging when a business manages to set an example. I am 63 yr. and have never bought any paper towels. I have a collection of cloth napkins like you, from thrift stores...really fun to run across nice
linen or damask ones. We have a big crock of what we call 'kitchen rags' in the kitchen...for drying iron skillets, spills, etc. and then a big tub in the utility room of other rags...for the floor and other non food things....all selected from thrift store clothes. I especially love the cotton thermal weave knit shirts. We wash and reuse for a long time. The rags keep my kitchen towels cleaner which are also made from thrift store finds...usually really nice all cotton curtains.
Thanks for the link. Next time in Little Rock we will have to find the Root Cafe.
