In fact, I could well relate to Rapunzel's mom. Obviously, I wouldn't give up an unborn child for some greens--or ask a husband to steal....
Anyways, point made.

There is a market near where I sometimes go for lunch and because I pass by fruit and vegetable stalls, I often get tempted to buy whatever looks good. Or is in season.
Not unlike shopping--shopping.
I'd buy dragon fruit, rambutan, dried figs, pears, green apple, lettuce, cucumbers, plums, cherries. The prices are pretty good too!
Unlike shopping--shopping. Booo.
(I once bought a box of peaches and was forced to eat each one because I didn't want it to go to waste like the persimon.)

On Friday I chanced on some romaine that looked really good. Even if I still had some butterhead at home, I couldn't resist.
I was so surprised that they were selling for 80 cents! The cheapest I've gotten them for was a little over a dollar. Summer sale? :-p
I didn't hoard. I just got one. Leaving me with one too many lettuce "heads".
It is Friday again. And guess what? I've almost used up all the leaves!!! Not to mention, I didn't throw any leaf away.
I have just enough for another sandwich :-). Tomorrow's breakfast.

You know you're getting older (and boring) when writing about vegetables excite you.

congratulations! you finished the peaches! :P
i gave up buying lettuce.. it usually spoils after 3days :( can you tell me your secret?
Just wrap then in a paper totel (or even an actual towel) before putting it in the crisper :-) that should do the trick.
And make sure to cut out any part of the leaves that exhibits bruising :-)
That should work ;). Let me know how it works out!
