A few weeks back...I noticed this at my favorite market...
It is a Hydroponic Boston Leaf Lettuce...
This type of lettuce is my very favorite for sandwiches...
And Burgers...
But I always find them kinda pricey...
And they go mushy before I use it all up...
SO...for $2.50...which is cheaper than a cut one...
I thought I would give it a try!
It comes in a floral oasis...you know, those spongy things...
For making floral arrangements...
The Oasis is wrapped on the sides with a heavy plastic...
Top and Bottom are open...
Merely put it into a container...I chose this pedestal one...
Keep the Oasis damp...
Peel the lettuce leaves from the bottom...
And it continues to grow!
It doesn't need to be refrigerated...Mine is on the counter...
This has lasted 2 weeks already! Pretty good,eh?
I think when it starts to look kinda sad...
I will simply peel off the remaining leaves...and refrigerate!
And...probably make some egg salad sandwiches...
Or some Tuna salad sandwiches...
With lots of crispy Boston lettuce!
Oh yeah...and Avacado....Yummy!
If you see one...give it a go!
Well worth the time and effort....
And....most importantly...it is...
GREEN!
Very cold and blustery here...in the minuses with the windchill...brrr!
Buffalo NY is getting clobbered with lake effect snow...
From my very favorite lake...Lake Erie♥️
Just south of the dear old cottage...but supposed to shift northward this evening!
"Be nice to the old girl...old man winter!"
******************************
2 berry cakes in the oven...
Flakey Baked Filet of Sole...fried rice with mushrooms...fresh green beans...
How does that sound for dinner?
Oh...and a Greek salad before...gotta have that!!! With the Avacado...
Gosh...can you tell we like Avacados here? hahaha!
Too bad I can't grow them in my backyard...like my friend Kris in CA...♥️
What aromas are wafting from your kitchen???
Any decorating yet???
Enjoy the rest of your day...
Cheers! :o)
