Lettuce

Is that a ten pounds increase on that scale?
Couldn't be;  those scales...they are a liar
Well..face it have to go on the lettuce again
Lettuce not have dessert for they are behind me
Lettuce eat cucumbers, carrots, apples, peaches
Lettuce brush our teeth as soon as we eat
So can't eat again because will have to brush again
Lettuce adjust the portion size whittle it down
Lettuce use one-quarter cup, one-half cup size
Lettuce be happy with little so won't have big middle
Lettuce remember he who indulges bulges

(Have not idea if this fits into anything)

Very very good write, Sara, I hate lettuce except Lamb's lettuce and Arugula salad!!! I agree with John, I am really fond of Asian cooking (and Mediterranian as well). My German dishes are always influenced by other cookery. Thank you for your comments and have a nice weekendd...Gert
