Liz,  Thanks for the advice -- I was able to find a web blog that  
suggested a quick rinse and then store the scallions with roots and  
the white part covered with water in a glass bowl.  Then, enclose the  
tops and glass bowl with a plastic bag -- finally, put the bowl with  
scallions in the cooler.  I tried this and can only say that my  
picking looked good with overnight storage and I sold out at the  
market this morning.  Has anyone else tried the glass bowl and plastic  
bag routine?   Results?  Thanks, Tom
