Gold. Reprehensible attitude perhaps, but still first rate comedy <G>.

You're not apt to be microwaving anything on the patio anyway.

It doesn't matter where he is using a microwave. Melamine is not microwave recommended.

I'm sure that's news to people who only buy processed Kraft slices or
cheese-slime in a tube.

Uh, no. I have an extreme dislike for cutting boards. And paper plates are
super cheap! Keep in mind that when you wash dishes, you have to use soap
and hot water. That costs money too!

There are plenty of cheeses that don't require cutting that are not those.
We buy Tillamoos. They're portable!

There are also cheese curds, string cheese, cheddar sticks, Laughing Cow and
Mini Babybel.

What sort of an idiot fills a whole sink with hot soapy water to wash
just one plate? Most meals involve dirtying a number of dishes....
knife, spoon, plate, glass etc.

Using paper plates is just plain trailer trash lazy.

Yep. Of course you do.

Buying paper plates is far more expensive and I guess the environment
means nothing to you. You're just lazy and selfish. You don't you
construct a large funnel and use that all the time?
