Will Anacoana Make Me the Romaine King? Lol


In
1964 I worked at the New York World's Fair in the Gas Pavillion where
we cooked everything tableside on a gas cart and made fresh salads. I
became a pro at making Caesar salad from scratch and many guests asked
for me just for that. It would also help me get hired to work at the 5
star 4 Seasons restaurant in Manhattan.

On July 5th
Anacoana posted a multi subject blog which had pictures of growing
Romaine lettuce in the house and it rang a bell in my head (well aside
from the many other noises I hear there!)  I googled it and it was as
easy as it looked. This is the blog 
https://www.blogster.com/anacoana/want-to-see-some-clever-ideas-household-ideas

I
usually buy 2 packages of Romaine every week--it is known as one of the
healthiest food in the world due to its nutriental value plus the
texture of the leaves adds a crisp bite to each taste. (For more
information go to
https://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=61)

Well
I looked at the package, looked at the 3 tall heads (?) and decided why
not after I made a sald one evening. After a week of eating Romaine
lettuce I have 6 heads growing around the kitchen--I have never learned
moderation!!! I am going to wait a couple of weeks and see how these
turn out and will let you know.

With turnips and beets
(hopefully) growing on the walkway and Romaine lettuce in the kitchen I
may open my own vegetable stand!!!! LOL

Don't know about with veggies--so far my beets and turnips are only leaves!!!

I tried this with the ends of celery. Leaves came out, but after awhile, the end part started to decompose and I planted it outside in the dirt. Stems came out, but they bolted (bloomed) because the conditions weren't ideal. It'll never be like store celery that can be diced for recipes, but the leaves have a ton of flavor.

I figured it is worth giving it a try

I've seen this on youtube, so I know how it turns out, but it will be interesting to hear about your experience! Maybe the Florida sunshine will do them good!

Oh, oh---that last sentence sounds ominous but I am hanging in there!
