okay, so that never crossed my mind and now I have lettuce coming out of my ears! :p I bet I do that next year!
I don't know how much you like lettuce - but I also enjoy lettuce skillet fried with a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper or other seasonings! A few pieces of tomato or cuke can be added - makes a great sandwich! Just fry until wilted - uses up a lot of lettuce that way! Or fry in Italian dressing - great flavor - mmmmm.
I like leaf lettuce but my wife only eats iceberg lettuce. I sneak it in to salads but she knows it's there and it's left over. What's the big deal? It's all greens. Do they taste different or is it the color. Maybe I could dye the greens blue and make them her favorite color -- purple?
