Lettuce Scrap


I have heard that you can grow lettuce inside a container with just water. I thought I would give it a try.  I already do this with green onion and love the idea of snipping  the amount I need for my recipes and it is so fresh.

My kitchen sits to the front of the house, so I have decided to plant herbs in my flower beds since I can't seem to grow flowers in the desert. I know I can grow basil outside, so I will try some other herbs as well.

It will make it convenient as well, to just go right out the front door and snip the herbs I need for the day.

There are vegetable scraps that will grow in just water, so I am experimenting with this to see what I can grow at home.

Gives me a reason to re purpose my plastic water bottles. I usually cut the plastic bottles down and crochet over them to hold paperclips, little nails, and what not, but you only need so much of those items, right?

I think this week is about listing on eBay, but I did want to touch base.

My meals have been simple outside grilling and a salad as a side, and then the lettuce idea came up.  So this is what I am doing in the kitchen this week.

I have sat the vintage mittens to the side for now and will resume later.

My Daughter made it safely to her destination and her roommate at the University is from China.  What a great opportunity for both of them to learn and share their different cultures.

Have a great day or evening, wherever you may be,
