I tried inhaling lettuce at dinner yesterday - I don't recommend it.

There was a tiny bit left in measuring cup which ( obviously!) didnt notice when I reused said cup for something else.!!!

I just do these things in the interests of research. It did mean I had to pour another glass of wine to dislodge it. smile

Did the lettuce send you to sleep? As the Flopsy Bunnies knew, lettuce is soporific.

Definitely do not do this.
Scenario: Crusty seeded bread with lots of sunflower seeds. Scattering of seeds fell onto breadboard. Picture picking up a couple of seeds and popping them in your mouth - one of the seeds starts to wriggle a bit. Sun flower seeds do look remarkably like wood lice when you haven't got your specs on!

Oh no!!! I would have been sick - were you?

Should you ladies be living on your own or heaven forbid, with someone? There are places of safety.

Put toffee sauce on a particularly scrumptious chicken lunch. Helpful (?) daughter had put it on table as well as gravy boat ! Luckily only I did it and was thinking everyone was too polite to say how sweet the food tasted. When I apologised for the terrible taste though, it did cause a laugh !

Hello Teetime. I even feel sick thinking about it now. I wasn't sick but was unable to even look at seedy bread for ages!

Are you quite sure it was just lettuce Teetime?
Did it look like this?
If it did I have to say it was not lettuce. wink
