After a long absence I have returned to complain. Not about the world economy or the over-complication of today’s toothbrushes. No, I come to complain about speeders. Not just any speeders mind you, but those that speed up to red lights.What is to be gained from this practice? Is it the extra fuel they waste, or the general hatred they garner from the public? I mean, somebody passed me while dri
I've been seeing Lettuce Wraps grow in popularity at Chinese restaurants, now often served as a dish at banquets. We had a Clam filled Lettuce Wrap at our rehearsal dinner and a Shrimp and Pork filled one at Peking Duck Forest. The filling ideas are endless but based on what we had at home, I made this one. We both loved it.Pork and Shrimp Lettuce Wraps~makes 6-8 wraps3 ounces ground pork1 tablesp

You would think it wouldn't, but it never ceases to amaze me some of the things I do (or someone else does) that we assume 'everyone' knows and it's only after doing it in front of someone else and getting remarks about it that we realize that perhaps everyone doesn't know how to do this....Confused?Ok, there a lot of hints and tips stuck in my brain, taking up space that could otherwise be useful

After a series of outbreaks of food-borne illness, the FDA has decided to allow the irradiation of lettuce and spinach. But it’s a quetionable move, especially considering that their decision in 2000 to allow irradiation of meat has not done very much to advance food safety.
Irradiation is expensive, unwieldly, and most importantly it's a distraction from what really need to be done to secure th
It is official, the FDA approved radiation on lettuce, spinach and other greens hoping to ward off the all too familiar salmonella and e-coli scares. The radiated produce is said to hit grocery stores as of yesterday.
Once again, the FDA refuses to allow labeling on this radiated produce. I mean come on it’s in [...]
Opponents say irradiation no substitute for careful handling of foodThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration has flashed a green light for two green vegetables to be zapped with radiation to kill bacteria and reduce foodborne illness. The FDA said the process would also give the produce a longer shelf life.Both spinach and lettuce were associated with recent outbreaks of E. coli. Hundreds of consumer
Even though I live across the river from French Canada where pea soup (soupe aux pois) is a national dish, I've never ordered pea soup in a restaurant or tasted split peas before, so I wasn't too thrilled to make this soup, and neither was my family in Saskatchewan! My sister suggested I make it when I return to Ottawa, but she wasn't so lucky with the Whisk Wednesdays' schedule. The kids passed o

Lettuce is one of the few veggies that will grow in part shade. Try sowing seeds in part shade in summer so the plants don’t bolt when temps are above 80 degrees. For continued harvest, sow seeds in succession or use crisp headed or loose leaf varieties instead of varieties that form a head. With these guys, you can remove the outer leaves repeatedly and the plant will grow new ones

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.

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:

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.

Hot sauce
Bib or green leaf lettuce leaves, for wrapping

1 cup cilantro leaves
3 sprigs fresh mint
3 tablespoons grainy mustard
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 red onion, finely chopped

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.

It's perfect for a hot summer evening meal with a
