    PRECISELY why romaine is my lettuce of choice for salad! Isn’t it nice of romaine to grow in a size that fits my fist so exactly? Oh, and my guinea pigs adore the tougher outer leaves, so there’s no waste!

    The first season of Dexter was on “normal” TV — I LOVED IT! (especially the justice served – lol) then it was moved to a “non-free” Showtime… grrrr

      Actually it was on Showtime first. I remember seeing it on regular TV, that’s why I started watching on NetFlix.

      You know what? They had to cut a lot to get it on network TV. Season 2 never showed up because I can’t imagine how they’d cut enough to get past the censors and still fill an entire hour each week.

      PS: I don’t work for NetFlix and don’t make anything from them, but I absolutely love it. Way better than going to the video store, cheaper than cable, and if you’ve got a Wii or another modern game console you can stream stuff for free. Totally great.

    Drew,
    I love romaine for a salad but I use the whole head. If you peel the rough edges off the core and slice it, it reminds you of a water chestnut by the way it crunches. So there is no waste of the core.
