BLT's

I don't think there is anything better than a good bacon, lettuce and tomatoe sandwich. They are especially good when you can get tomatoes out of the garden instead of the hard ones in the store. I, for one, love lots and lots of bacon on mine, big slice of tomatoe, lettuce and spread with miracle whip on the bread. Yum yum, makes me hungry just thinking about it. It is almost suppertime.

Lettuce

I just read a consumer report on the bagged lettuce we buy from the grocery store. I like the kind with various types of lettuce, carrots, etc in them. You just dump them in the bowl and put salad dressing on them and you are ready to eat. BUT, I am sure everyone notices how quickly they spoil. They should be good till the sell by date but good luck if you get a couple of days out of them. They tested 62 bags of all kinds and the reports weren't good. I guess I will stick to buying head lettuce because then I know it isn't gooey and icky in a couple days. I love a good crunchy lettuce salad but I seem to be throwing money away on the beautiful bagged lettuce. How about you?

Immigration Law Could Hit Lettuce Growers

There is a new Arizona law that takes effect now, at the peak of the lettuce harvest and could hurt the Yuma area produce industry, which fills 80 percent to 90 percent of the nation's salad bowls from November through April every year. The law threatens to take business licenses from companies caught twice knowingly hiring undocumented workers. Past shortages of workers have driven up lettuce prices a couple of dollars a carton. Enjoy that salad while you can get it.
