Dry them with a paper towel and then place them in a container with a lid or vac seal them and throw them into the freezer. When eaten they taste like frozen candy and they can also keep your wine cool if you put a couple of frozen grapes in you wine glass.

Seems like they always self-compost before we've had a chance to use them all. They're the one thing that can't be saved for future use by freezing -- although I suppose a person could try it and then just toss them into a soup or stew when they thawed out. If spinach and kale are good in soups, why not lettuce? <br /><br />It isn't just the annoyances of buying stuff in small enough amounts to be manageable for only two people. Recipes can be annoying, too. Soup recipes that serve 8 people, cookie recipes that yield 4 dozen, . . . of course, the upside is that there's almost always something in the freezer we can pull out for a quick meal or snack.

Grocery stores are offering a whole lot of "buy 2 for" a reduced price, but only if you buy two. We aren't going to use up two packs of salad greens in the short amount of time they stay fresh. I had to buy 5 cans of diced tomatoes to get the sale price. Thankfully I have a pantry. -Jenncoffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855180793926350647.post-72183416039398355752017-06-25T18:13:07.167-04:002017-06-25T18:13:07.167-04:00It is a battle, but living closer to town than we ...It is a battle, but living closer to town than we used to helps as does having a freezer.
