Janet, that large package of 4X4s is exactly what I'm referring to. Use one
4X4[as it's called] for each bouquet garni. I wouldn't use individually
wrapped 4X4s, if for no other reason, cost. I've been using the 4X4s for
years. When you walk into the medical supply house, you simply ask for a
package of "bulk four by fours". I hope William Sonoma isn't listening to
this.
