The girls were wearing bikinis that were adorned with lettuce leaves as they promote “Go Veg.com”.By the way, you can visit the Lettuce Ladies official site to join them or to vote for your favorite lettuce lady.Photo SourceBookmarkz

Maybe it's better and easier than cutting with a knife. We're going to have to try it. At least you can use it with just one hand, and the plastic won't oxidize the lettuce the way ordinary knives do. It's our old favorites at Chef'n who has come up with it, and it's USD 4:95 at Sur La Table.

Yesterday's corner time: 6 Minutes.I am turning into a man of taste and sophistication.Obviously, my new girlfriends are very impressed and today, Whats-her-name was rendered speechless when I presented her with a lettuce.I think she was perhaps somewhat overwhelmed having led a particularly insular and unadventurous life, unlike myself of course.“Why have you given me a cabbage?” she asked.“It’s a lettuce,” I replied.“Why have you given me a lettuce?” she asked.See what I mean? Completely clueless. Anyway, I persevered.“It’s a token of my admiration,” I explained.“Oh,” She said.I think she was quietly impressed. None of the other boys had given her a lettuce before.That evening, I told Dad that I had taken his advice and given Whats-her-name a lettuce.It later tran

My lettuce seeds sprouted faster than usual this year, I expected to have some problems since I have saved the seeds for 3 years now. I don't have a heating pad (yeah I'm cheap) so just put them on top of the refrigerator in a makeshift greenhouse out of an old strawberry container. They would have still germinated in my mid-60 degree house, but the extra heat gained from being on top of the refrigerator will allow my cucumbers to sprout about 10 days sooner. I will have to give coconut coir my two green thumbs up, my only complaint is that it retains water a little too well. I would recommend 1 part perlite to 2 parts coconut coir to let the roots dry out a little more. For now I am just watering from the bottom so guess I am doing some cheap hydroponics. I have also added them to

Lettuce Leaf - God's Fractals in NatureYesterday I was out in the garden checking the lettuce plants we have growing, and I happened to look down from directly above a plant to see this pattern. The lettuce leaves formed a complicated pattern resembling the precise mathematical form of a fractal. The very fine edges of each leaf are curled in a delicate pattern which imitates the fractal's recursive spirals. This is an example of how creation is so complete - the forms which our best mathematicians struggle with are reproduced in nature without any human intervention!This photo taken with the Fujifilm S9600 digital camera.Shutter speed: 1/28, F3.9, ISO 100Other blogs: The Big Byte WOWebbs blogs Internet eX-plorer 8

My husband is in love with this diet - not just because he's lost a couple of pounds, but because most of these recipes have a sauce of some kind, and he L-O-V-E-S sauce. Can he dip it? Spoon it on top? Bathe in it? Sure! Have some! He used to pick on me for accidentally buying some sauce (fish or soy, usually) when we already had some, but now I think he'll back off, knowing that the more

Why waste time chopping up the lettuce when you can just hack a head into four chunks, dress it up and serve? This unique presentation is not only easy to make, but also a deliciously different way to serve your next salad. The creamy bleu cheese dressing is a cinch to make from scratch and tastes much better than anything you'll buy in a store. Add a bit of extra crumbled bleu over the top, some freshly diced tomatoes, and you're well on your way to a fancy-pants side salad that'll surely impress.

Cook 250g tortellini (choose a filling you want) following the pack instructions. Toast 30g pine nuts in a dry frying pan. Finely chop 6 sundried tomatoes. Add in a bowl 75g rocket lettuce, the sundried tomatoes, the toasted pine nuts and some grated cheese. Toss it a little. Serve the tortellini over the rocket lettuce salad and if you like it just scatter some grated cheese over it. Enjoy!

You’re likely familiar with the fact that your lettuce could be contaminated with pesticides and even rocket fuel, but now researchers at the University of Minnesota have uncovered another risk: antibiotics.Livestock are routinely given antibiotics to prevent disease outbreaks (which are common due to the typically crowded, unsanitary conditions in which these animals are raised). This, of course, means that conventional meat is loaded with antibiotics, some of which are passed through into manure.The researchers found that, as one would expect, plants that are fertilized with antibiotic-containing manure uptake antibiotics into their leaves, tissue and roots. Root crops like potatoes, carrots and radishes may be particularly vulnerable, they said.Consuming antibiotics via your salad could lead to allergies and the development of more antibiotic-resistant superbugs, among many other as yet unknown effects.This time, however, eating organic is not the answer. Organic crops, which cann

Congressman Tom Tancredo has an interesting way of disagreeing with the awful head of the DHS, Michael Chertoff, on his statement that the agriculturual industry would suffer without amnesty for illegal aliens: he's sending him a head of lettuce and a fruit basket.I think it can be said that quite a few people are still waiting for Chertoff to announce his long overdue resignation, BTW.Others on the subject include Michelle Malkin, American Pundit, Bill's Bites.

While surfing the internet a couple months ago I came across this old fashioned recipe that brought a smile to my face. I hadn't thought of this recipe in about 30 years, but the second I saw it, my Grandmothers face flashed in my mind. My Grandma H made this every so often when we would be at her home for dinner (or 'supper' as she called it). It's perfect for a hot summer evening meal with a

I have plenty of chicken left from my Hainanese Chicken Rice.
