lettuce from scraps update

That cool little tidbit of great blog substance that I linked to a couple of posts earlier (from Allison at Modern Granola At Home) has me slapping the side of my head. It’s so simple and so cool. Here’s the butt-end of a head of romaine that I plucked out of the compost two days ago…

Funny what delights one in the dark days of winter.  Thank you Allison!
