Yellow Lettuce (And What It Taught Me About Life)
When you’ve been cooking for one for as long as I have, you know that the supermarkets sell almost nothing in packages smaller than an SUV, quantities less than what would feed a brigade of troops in Iraq for a week. And you learn to cope. The knife, the Tupperware-type bowl, the plastic bag (especially the ziplock type), and the freezer are indispensable allies in the fight against waste. Fresh vegetables pose the biggest challenge. Especially lettuce. Unless you’re prepared to shell out major dinero for those postage-stamp-sized packages of “spring mix

yellow lettuce
ive spent a good amount
of time
during my career
finding ways to use
yellow lettuce
to the advantage
of my employer
ive found
yellow lettuce
may not be the best
but its still good
and has many uses
to accent
or provide a base to another thing
to beef up a skinny salad
or sandwich
yellow lettuce isnt bad
it isnt even
sub par
it simply needs to be
switched from the
"ill be visible so i need to be beautiful"
category
to the
"dont lose me cuz i still have value"
category
my employer
was dead set against waste
to his mind
every bit
of
every thing
must be used and used up
"its a beautiful thing"
denoted a rather fine use
of items
deemed shit
by other less experienced
(talented)
workers
or administrators
"use as much as
you want,
just dont run out"
was a guidline not to be
ignored
yellow lettuce comes in handy
when adhering to this concept
people who dislike
yellow lettuce
are
assholes
they were brought up wrong
and they are missing
the really
good stuff

How Funny!
O'C! That's too funny!
This oddly reminds me of my husband. He refuses to eat anything healthy. All he eats, literally, is chicken strips, moz sticks and pizza, with an occassional PLAIN burger here and there.
So anyways, I make up lies about what things are so he will try them (Yellow Lettuce, Eeeeewwww!).
* I call Roast, "Big Steak"
* Quiche is "Eggie Pie with Bacon and Ham"
* Baked Chicken is "Fried Chicken Fingers Cooked in the Oven"
and
* Meatloaf is "Big Burger Patty"
How PATHETIC!!! What's up with people?! My hubby is 24 and the 9-month-old eats more than him!

... too many of us have had it too good for too long. If you have relatives who lived through the Great Depression, now might be a good time to ask them how they made it. And write it all down. On paper. We might all need the information later. And the Internet might not be there to access it. (How long could you live if the electricity grid went down, Baghdad?)
