I'm not a big lettuce eater either, but I like to add chopped romaine lettuce or lamb's lettunce to pan dishes for a nice crunch. I also like when it's slightly warmed.<br /><br />I feel very embarrassed I didn't manage to contribute a recipe to your long pasta contest! I really wanted to, but in the past weeks I had a depression and didn't get anything done as wanted. :( I hope you forgive me that!Kath (My Funny Little Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10295143356577259844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-84324162947002091042013-10-15T22:24:10.969+11:002013-10-15T22:24:10.969+11:00Thanks Sandy - we expect doctors to know so much b...Thanks Sandy - we expect doctors to know so much but really their knowledge is quite limited - I was surprised to be told off about my use of glasses by an optom and then visit a GP who was doing exactly what I had done.

Next time I'm face with the remaining wilting half, I shall know what to do!<br /><br />Your cake looks beautiful too and that environmental park + cafe sounds like just my type of place.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-18047903862891579792013-10-12T13:06:58.926+11:002013-10-12T13:06:58.926+11:00such a beautiful spring soup!!!such a beautiful spring soup!!!Lisa (bakebikeblog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14802600386274518441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-53179831111865785712013-10-12T08:03:23.699+11:002013-10-12T08:03:23.699+11:00Hear hear - girls need something a bit more inspir...Hear hear - girls need something a bit more inspiring than twinkly pink stereotypes.

I've never cooked with lettuce before either although I've considered trying some braised little gem a la nigella. <br />I'm always so impressed with all your crafting!
