Salad bag for keeping lettuce fresh

Dee Dee said:

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.

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.

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

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 ;-)

The Yank,

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

The link takes me to a generic Amazon page. Are you talking about something
to dry the lettuce or to keep it longer?

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.

Standing up for the good ole U.S.A. -

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

As for my country, it's no secret, you just haven't been reading
attentively. Or maybe you turn a blind eye in this thread every time
posters in America mock other nationalities.

Why is that, when the whole world knows Americans never ever trash
anyone else?
