Keep Your Lettuce Longer
Last week I mentioned how to save wilted lettuce, but how do you keep it from getting that way to begin with?
- For starters you should discard any leaves that have brown or black spots.
- Then soak them in an ice water bath for 15-30 minutes.
- Spin them dry (or gently pat them dry with a kitchen towel) and wrap loosely in dry paper towels.
- Finally put them in a ziploc bag, squeeze as much air as possible (don't crush the leaves), seal the bag 3/4 of the way and store in your fridge's produce drawer.

Know Your Teas (aka Tea 101)
This week PartySugar is planning a lovely tea party so I thought I'd take a minute to talk about the different kind of teas. If you don't count herbal teas, all tea surprisingly comes from the same plant (Camellia sinensi); the different types of tea are a result of how the leaves are processed once picked. Herbal teas come from an infusion of fruit and herbs (like chamomile, rose-hips, mint) and not the tea tree.
