Draining bacon

Tonight's dinner involved bacon. When it was ready to be taken out of the skillet, I realized that this may be one instance where paper towels would be necessary in my kitchen. Prior to this I had figured that we could eliminate paper towel usage from our house entirely. So I took a sheet and drained the bacon on it.

Now I realize that I just wasn't being creative enough. I decided to search Google for an alternative to paper towels for draining bacon. Not surprisingly, I quickly had some other options. One is to use the random paper napkins that seem to come our way in various restaurants, etc. This still uses the paper, but would obviate the need to buy paper towels. Another idea I liked was to just use a small rack over a plate. Our toaster rack would work pretty well for this.
