More Scary Nut Products - The Walnut Sponge

We made it back from our fun filled weekend with the grandparents, and I have been so wiped out that this is the first chance I have had to even really get on the computer. I somehow hurt my back last Thursday at a music class with Conor (yes, only I could hurt my back at a music class), and I am recovering from being trapped in a car for 16 hours. Overall the weekend went well. We only ate at McDonalds twice, and had a good meal at Chipotle, Macaroni Grill and Red Robin. Check out my prior restaurant opinions here.

So, since I have been away for a bit, I thought I would include another fascinating scary nut product for everyone to quake in fear of. (We are not allergic to tree nuts, but this is way to close for comfort). That is right

The Walnut Sponge

According to the Drugstore.com website, this dazzling new product has many great features including an allergy warning.

Any sponge with an allergy warning is too much sponge for me. Thankfully they also warn you not to use it in aquariums. I wonder if fish are allergic to nuts too.
