Yes, I do agree that the ecloths that I have that are similar work well for that. I did end up cancelling my norwex order (if the consultant will do it and not pretend it shipped already, lol), because the cloths I have are fine, and I really don't need to go all in on their products. But I can use the cloths I have here and there, and it is nice to have some variety.

I was using cloths for all of my cleaning anyway, so my usage of paper towels is still low. I think that is why I have had a hard time being as into their products as some that are super hyped about it. I was just talking to someone online and she was saying, I still use the cloth diapers from when my son was young to clean--I said I do too! (those things that can be used as burp cloths, etc--I have had mine for years and they are still going strong).

I will you use old cut up t-shirts, old socks (great for putting on your hand for cleaning ceiling fan blades). I do have a microfiber cloth I use for glass and mirrors (no lint) and I recently bought a 2 pack of microfiber cloths for dusting off some of my metal furniture (loves to hold onto dust! Boo), along with Pledge. Was hoping it would help prolong it getting dusty, that black metal can be a beast for collecting dust. So far it has been better.

I haven't tried Norwex and wondered about them. Microfiber cloths are my favorite for cleaning and wiping up messes, but I go through a lot of them in a day; so I need to have a little stack of them. I have a couple of samples of the "as seen on TV" kind, but most are basic ones from amazon. There is a little bit of difference, but they all work really well. I have a mix of colors; so different ones get used in the kitchen/bath. I wash them with regular towels and usually don't have a problem with lint. I do use a light cleaning spray since I mainly use them for wiping surfaces, like counters. I spray the surface with cleaner and then wipe with the dry cloth. I only wet the microfiber for dusting. They are great when liquids spill! I also have a few bar cloths and the burp cloth diapers that are great too. We have napkins from etsy made of that wonderful diaper fabric.

DH bought a big pack of generic ones at home deopt. They are great for wiping surfaces. I use them mostly for dusting - we get so much dust here. I think I will start using them to clean countertops as DS is using far too many paper towels for this. The problem is you really need to squeeze the water out or they leave streaks. I don't like streaks.

Most avocados in my area come from Mexico. They are usually yummy, but lately they are not ripening properly. They pick them too early so they can last longer, I guess.


I have yet to find a way to enjoy mushrooms. I eat them because I know they are good, but I don't find them very tasty unless they are completely smothered in butter, etc.


This combo sounds yummy! I just recently bought walnuts at Costco. I need to see if hubby still has dark chocolate in his stash. :biggrin:


I see the recipe. Thanks! I love sour things, too. Lime/lemon is my staple salad dressing. I did eat sour grapefruit with sugar when I was growing up. I can only find the sweet grapefruit around here.


We eat avocado almost daily in my home. Every, once in a while I go to the international market and I can get other kinds of avocado like the ones I grew up with. Yum! I think those are from Florida.


I had no idea! Well that's good to know. I will store mine upside down like you ladies. The almond butter is good! I just bought a mixed nuts one - also from Kirkland. I haven't tried it yet, though. I also just go powdered peanut butter. I used it in a smoothie tonight. Yuuummm!!! :heart:

The last avocado I got a few weeks ago didn't taste or smell right. I threw it away and I've been afraid to buy more.

Walnuts are even better if you toast them. Just be sure to watch them so they don't burn.

The best way for regular white mushrooms is in a salad, not cooked, IMO. I like to combine them with diced mozzarella cheese and mix with caesar dressing.

I hardly ever use paper towels, just to drain bacon and wipe grease out of pans before I wash them.

I love cream of mushroom soup (real or Campbell’s :lol:). I actually like all types of mushrooms (white, portobello, porcini, enoki, shiitake/black Chinese) although I only cook with white mushroom.

I love this Chinese dish, honey walnut prawns (except they never give you enough walnuts)

It's so good! Except if you have to take it home, the walnuts don't stay crisp.

We don’t usually order it since DD and DH are not crazy about it (DD doesn’t eat shrimp). I would often get it for myself at Panda Express (it’s pretty good actually). I prefer it where the coating/sauce doesn’t taste like mayo.

We don't order Chinese food family style when it is just the two of us. We each get one dish for ourselves, which is okay since I can order something he won't eat. Except when we go somewhere that has Peking duck.
