Lettuce

leaf lettuce plus red washed through three cold water baths .... slug falls in sink
To make matters worse, I just read an article on the internet where a person found a baby poisonous snake in a bag of lettuce that her son sent to her from the store chain called "Aldi's". It was alive. I guess it was fresh lettuce but deadly. My lettuce was from our garden.

Mystic, If the oregano oil lingered my husband would not eat it so I can't do that. He loves the flavor when he goes to a place called Aviano's Greek and Italian Restaurant but when I use oregano in my cooking he says he doesn t like it. Sara

Harry, I do enjoy a good salad but it doesn't agree with me much anymore. Growing old is not for sissies. Your presence at my page is always an adventure. Sara

Victor, I wish there was a way to get rid of them permanently in our garden. We used to not have them then for the past few years they are a real nuisance. Your visits always buoy my spirits. Sara
