I acquired two sets of napkins/placemats as wedding gifts, but to be honest-- even when we have people over, we don't use them. Or paper napkins, either. I guess people just go to the bathroom and wash their hands if they're sticky, or grab a roll of paper towel if there's a spill? Hmm. It never really occurred to me that napkins were an essential part of dining. But then again, usually I'm just happy if there aren't too many weevils in the rice, so.
