My one pot of lettuce was overflowing, so I decided to pull it today. I wish I had taken a picture before I harvested it. It filled an entire colander.

I had planned on making a salad plus some wilted lettuce. However, by the time I had cleaned it, there wasn’t much left. Plus it was waterlogged. Next time I know to cut what I want for a salad before pulling it out of the pot.

I ended up wilting the lettuce like my Gummy (grandma) used to. I didn’t have a completely clear memory of how she did it, so I went off what I did remember.

I sautéed some chopped onions in a tiny bit of oil. When those were nice and brown, I added the lettuce. I let it cook for a minute or so. Then I deglazed the pan with white vinegar. A sprinkle of salt and pepper plus a teaspoon or so of sugar finished the dish. It actually tasted pretty close to what I remembered. I think Gummy would be proud of me.

I had bought another package of lettuce seeds, so I planted them in the same pot. I hope these new seeds grow as well as the previous ones.
