The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Lettuce Hints

Mommy

To core a head of iceberg lettuce, hold the lettuce with the core side down.  Quickly and firmly whack the core on the counter top.  This will break the core all the way around.  Flip it over and remove the core.

________________________________________________

Wash lettuce right before using.  Washing it ahead of time will cause it to spoil more quickly unless you can dry it.  If preparing the lettuce ahead of time a paper towel in the bottom of the bowl will help absorb the excess water.  Water will cause the lettuce to spoil.

Salads are so versatile.  You children and I really like to have salad for lunch.  There are many easy and tasty salad dressings that you can make at home.  So, eat more salad!  :)
Love Always,
Mommy
