  1. Some time ago, a posting caught my eye when salad spinners were being
    discussed and one poster suggested putting in a kitchen towel and slinging
    it in a circle.

    Yesterday to augment my buying those 5-6 heads of romaine at Costco, I found
    this at Linen 'n Things to try:

    Here is a new dressing I'm going to try (Naturally Pomegranate)
    http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=196932

    1/4 cup fresh lime juice
    1/4 cup "Naturally Pomegranate"
    1 Tablespoon low-fat mayo
    1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    2 teaspoons sugar
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 small garlic clove, minced
    1 tablespoon oil (it says canola oil)
    Salt

    Combine first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Add oil and whisk to blend.
    Season with salt.

    I get one of those 6-packs of romaine hearts practically every
    time I got to CostCo (every 3-4 weeks). They last up to 2 weeks
    depending on the expiration dates. I don't buy them if they
    expire within 5 days.

    They're the perfect size for a single, large salad with just a
    few extra ingredients. Sometimes I just eat lettuce, romano, and
    dressing.

    I'll let you know how it works. I think it should be washed first.

    The material is a square-y looking heavy-feeling thick, not-quite-terry. It
    looks like one could use it to dry a thick head-of-hair.

    Too late in the day to do it now - received three 'French' DVD's in the
    mail today -- better get busy having fun.
    Hope they are not too risque -- you know how those FROGS are -- might be too
    much for a conservative person to watch ;-)

    So, put the bag over your head and leave it to dry?? ;-)

    Here is what a reviewer said:

    This is the best thing ever for lettuce as far as I'm concerned. Simply wash
    your lettuce thoroughly and pop right into the bag. No spinning or patting
    dry necessary. It keeps your lettuce dry and fresh.

    The link came up for me -- sorry.

    Hygiene refers to practices associated with ensuring good health and
    cleanliness. The scientific term "hygiene" refers to the maintenance of
    health and healthy living. The term appears in phrases such as personal
    hygiene, domestic hygiene, dental hygiene, and occupational hygiene and is
    frequently used in connection with public health. The term "hygiene" is
    derived from Hygieia, the Greek goddess of health, cleanliness and
    sanitation. Hygiene is also a science that deals with the promotion and
    preservation of health. Also called hygienics.

    You haven't said what country you live where it has such superb "kitchen"
    hygenic practices; perhaps one that doesn't even know how to spell the word?
    Be that as it may, I have seen dogs run down a lettuce field sprattled
    evidently letting the lettuce do the scratch of his private parts for him,
    and I suppose that only occurs in America.

    It doesn't matter what Americans do, there is always somebody loving to
    trash them for whatever they do. And there are some people who love to
    trash their fellow man no matter what they do.

    "Hygenic"? You just said it's spelled hygienic. Oops, you lost a
    point in the international spelling bee.
