NO MORE SPONGES

Currently, I have some sponges because when I had my cats we had to have separate colored sponges so that I wouldn't mistakenly wash my dishes with their sponge. Now that my beloveds have all passed away as of 2008 I don't need to do that anymore, so once the remaining sponges are gone, I will only use pieces of worn clothing to wash my dishes. I do use a kind of plastic netting for scraping hard to clean pots or pans (you can put the cloth inside the netting). I have so many of these netting bags that I wish I could stop buying the stuff that comes in them, such as shallots, which I use a lot in gourmet cooking. But, now that I am writing this, I realize I MUST stop buying the netted items. I will check other grocers to see if they sell the shallots individually. I will also call the company and ask them to stop using the netting. Please send me any solutions you might have.

PS I found shallots at Winn Dixie without the netting. I'm still going
to call the company to voice my complaint about the plastic holders.
