However, just on the remote chance that you should ever decide to actually invest in one of the new-fangled variety of spinners, please take advantage of my extensive testing of same and go straight to the Oxo: do not veer into lesser territory, do collect Egyptian cotton sheet set, do not pass Go. <br /><br />I'm reading Bryson's Australia book right now & thought of you recently! xo Amy Up Over in VaAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331709146988974058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-48624127471788498692011-05-25T12:32:35.706+10:002011-05-25T12:32:35.706+10:00Yep, you just changed my life.

I 'spose you could try a pillowcase for that too?<br />@joyfulmum, putting them in the washing machine is WAY too labor intensive.

I just wasn't clever enough as Sarah to think I could spin it with my hands, duh!

She said, or so I remembered, to run them through the gentle cycle in the washing machine with no soap. So, I tried it and lo and behold the greens were pulverized into microscopic pieces that came out in every load of laundry for months. When I asked my friend about the process, she said," Oh I meant the dishwasher." Lessons learned. Yes, I think the pillow case slinger. Is a better idea.delainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519073646760104147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-60709093886594103672011-05-23T22:42:08.257+10:002011-05-23T22:42:08.257+10:00Wait--you KNEW about this?
