"Lettuce! O Lettuce!
Let us, O let us,
O Lettuce leaves,
O let us leave this tree and eat
Lettuce, O let us. Lettuce leaves!"
Edward Lear, English artist, writer (1812-1888) 'The History of the Seven Families of the Lake Pipple-Popple'
Lettuce - I love it and admit it forms the major part of my daily diet. I had to put the above quote in my blog 'cus no one seems to 'get' my lettuce fascination, but clearly Mr Lear understood:). Maybe it takes two literary artists to give such passion into a humble lettuce (okay so I am NOT a literary great) lol!
Beatrix Potter (see another literary great - there has to be a lettuce/writer connection) says that: 'the effect of eating too much lettuce is 'soporific'. Well there you go - some people say I am always tired 'cus I don't eat enough - the reality is the lettuce is making me sleepy.
This lettuce research (yes I have a sad existence lol) has helped build up ammo to fire at the 'lettuce grumblers' who moan at my daily consumption of the leafy plant. Well okay the ammo is poor really and hardly going to stop the grumblers - infact just like the lettuce won't stop their tummies grumbling, but it makes me feel good lol.
Well anyway I have to go 'cos' it's like an 'iceberg' in here - need to turn the heating on - catch ya later x
