This is not untrue 😂 

🤣🤣🤣🤣truth!!  

I've got a head of lettuce in the refrigerator right now that I'm afraid to look at. I bought it with the intent to made salads, but.............. 

that's why I get cookies. and poptarts.  

I have almost completely switched from lettuce to cabbage for EVERYTHING, EVEN SANDWICHES UNLESS I have a specific salad I’m making. And, as a plus, you are getting far more nutritional value from cabbage than from lettuce. 

I know it is not the point of the post :) but... some lettuce can be kept in a bit of water and stay fresh for a lot time. It is what I do with my kale. Cookies are good too 

LOL, because they don't last that long in this house.  

Romaine lasts good when stored upright like it grows. 

Hahaha! My new slogan! 

Hahaha! 😁  

lol... 

That's interesting, Liv! I do truly love a good salad but I buy it bagged because (this sounds so dumb) I can't make a good salad when I have to buy a head of lettuce. Anyhow- even in the bag you can tell it is already turning and it will have the expiration date like another 4 days away. Kenna- I have never used cabbage for any salad but have used it in tacos and wraps before.  

😂 cookies do get hard after awhile though  

I was always told to add a moist paper towel to the bag to keep it fresh longer. I’ve noticed with bagged salads/lettuce that the more air inside the bag the quicker it’ll go bad. I buy the skinniest flattest bag they have when I buy it. Mostly I just get baby spinach or spring mix. Like $5 for a big plastic container of it. The last one I made us salads with dinner two nights and had enough for two small salads for myself. But I only add cheese, meat and lite Italian dressing to it. The kids don’t care for the flavor though.  

In my kitchen, I have four Cadbury flakes, an almost full box of Malteser truffles, an almost full box of dinosaur chocolate cookies, a half full box of Tim Tams, several flavors of Magnum ice-cream bars, a Milka bar, half a box of Ferrero Rocher, two packs of shortbread and some other cookies. I feel really proud of myself because most of them have been there since October and I'm no longer tempted to eat a whole box of cookies in a sitting or several ice-cream bars. There's something to be said about controlling your environment, but I think it's an even bigger win when you can be near food and it doesn't control you. I love cabbage too, raw or cooked. 

Hmm glad I’m not in your kitchen. It’s hard for me to pass up Cadbury items lol. Everything else I could probably pass by but you’d be missing anything Cadbury 😛 

😂 

LC- I am not to that point, but I hope to be one day. Maybe I am kinda to that point. We have about 5 kinds of potato chips and cereals and cookies at any given time- its the actual chocolate candy that would be a struggle still for me. I had a very favorite resident named Larry Clark and it is so weird for me to call you LC when he was my LC. :) I may have to type out your name.  

my favorite is lettuce got recalled again. know what never gets recalled? cookies.  

Funny....
