We mix the detergent with water in a spray bottle to spray down the dishes. Then (because we're in Sweden and Swedes generally don't use sponges) we use a plastic bristle scrub brush to, well, scrub. Finally, a very thin tickle of water rinses. Done.

I think the more pressing question for me these days is how to handle my delicious account and evernote lists with all of the blogs I've been tagging/saving over the past 3 years.

Swede's normally use scrub brushes to do dishes. No cloths or sponges for those northerners! It's a bit odd to get used to, but it works.

Return them! Even without a receipt you'll likely get store credit to get the kinds of things that do fit your lifestyle.

I try to blow my nose at the sink with my hands as much as possible. With as much junk that has been coming out of my system lately, I need a soft disposable option.

FYI, Massachusetts residents have access to significantly subsidized compost bins. There's lots of information on the mass.gov site if you go digging for it, I don't have to do so at the moment. Basically, call your local DPW and ask if they have any available and how much they are. If they don't have any, call a nearby town, they might still have some.

Oh and P.S. I found that people have used fewer real napkins as compared to similar size parties using paper napkins.

I'll tell you what I did. I went to TJ Max and made a b-line to the clearance section. Picked up 20 cloth napkins for under $3. I use them whenever I have a party and whenever I feel compelled to use a real napkin. They take up little space and cost very little. It just makes sense.
