I am constantly wiping my hands and mouth however I eat. As a child I
hated eating ice cream because it went all over my face. So I used to
wipe my face with every bite. I guess that's why I do it today. I do
hate greasy stuff on my hands and can't wait to get some hot water and
soap onto them when cooking. I mix meatballs etc with my hands and the
boys like fatty bacon so I get fat on my hands when cutting the rashers
in half. IN a restaurant I can go through my serviette and everyone
else's plus ask for more I love places that still give cloth napkins.
