Does any one have suggestions as to how to keep lettuce fresh for a few
days? I read in Heloise's hints about sticking a piece of paper towel in the
bag with the lettuce to absorb moisture, but I still have moisture, and part
of the lettuce gets slimey and half needss to be tossed out. Would
I think your problem is with the plastic bag. Just wrap in paper towel
and check everything so if the towel needs changing if something spills on
it in the refrigerator you'll know it.

Hi, Sandy,
Paper towel helps, but you have to wrap the lettuce in it and check for
moisture each day. Another suggestion is to get some Green Bags; I think they
are available in grocery stores and in Wallmart. They help to keep produce
fresh for a long time.
A salad spinner is used to dry
Alice, my salad spinner has a crank. These green bags; are they found near
where the produce is sold, and then do you just put the unwashed lettuce or
other stuff in them, or do you have to do anything special? I really need to
find some thing, as it is costly to have to discard more than half of
Okay! The thing is that I have one of the frost-free fridges, and it would
be difficult to keep the paper towels sealed around the head of lettuce.

Hi, Sandy,
I'm not sure where the Green Bags are located in the store. They are good for
all kinds of fresh produce. Put it in the bags dry and it will keep for quite
a while.
Sorry I don't have more information.

Actually, I wrap a head of letece in paper towels and then slip it into a
plastic grocery bag. This seems to work pretty well for me, but, of course,
there is always the question of whether there are dark spots later. I don't
care as long as it feels fine, but it becomes an issue if I want to
Hi all,
For no apparent reason, I've been wanting a lemon cupcake or cake
recently. Two questions:
1. Can anyone provide a good recipe for this that is *not* from a box?
2. What sort of icing/frosting/glaze/whatever would you recommend for
this flavor? Plain? Vanilla? Orange? something else
Could you make sure to send both for cupcake and regular cake?

I usually take the core out of the lettuce. I use the green bags since they
have some charcoal a light coat in the bag and that is why vegetables will
keep. Now some people put a paper towel in the bag. I tie the bag closed.
After several uses I find the bag no longer is good to store

With a new head of lettuce I remove the core by hitting it on the side of

then put the lettuce in a new freezer bag before putting it in the fridge.
Then I just wash the leaves as needed. With the core gone the lettuce

Do any of you have the Keurig Mini coffee maker? If so, what sort of luck

Although there are buttons on it to make choices of size of cup and strength

Hi Everyone,
Thanks so much for your valuable help with the coffee maker issue! I too
have limited counter space as do many of us and have decided to go for the
Keurig Mini. We'll use it mainly for coffee after dinner so it won't get too
much use. Enjoy your weekend.

I'm not a coffee drinker, and I don't have one of these, but am curious as
to why this brand's price is so sky high compared to other coffee makers
that will brew larger batches.

I don't think this coffee maker is designed for a totally blind user. I

Gang, Randy here. My first question.
I'd like to know how to cook bacon in the microwave?
I want it nice and crispy but microwave as we know tends to be a bit dry.
How can i make it taste like it came off the pan but without all that grease?
Randy who loves bacon!
My suggestion would be, if you want a single serving coffee maker, to get
one that does not use k-cups or pods. Black and Decker makes them and so
does Hamilton Beach. Yes, you have to measure the coffee, but you don't have
to worry about programming because they all have buttons and are not
Not a good idea to put your phone number on a list like this.

You can get single serving coffee makers for less than half the price if
that's what you want. It's because they use special k-cups that the price is
so high.

I have one of those bacon racks, and as much as I like it, they are hard to
clean and the grease eventually builds up. They do work well, though, so
something like that might be worth a try. Another thing to bear in mind in
terms of timing is the thickness of the bacon. On the packaging for the
I like making a cup at a time. It's always fresh and the single serving

Using a 900 watt microwave, 1 minute per slice works if you put 3 or 4 paper
towels on a plate, then the bacon, then a couple of paper towels over the
bacon. HTH.
