Frying Bacon (Not for the Faint of Heart)

Step 6A Touch of Irony

A Touch of Irony
A very important lesson learned from the first time I fried bacon, is that you can't have too much of a good thing. A friend of mine did, she ended up giving it back. Wasn't pretty. So the next question was what to enjoy your deep fried bacon with so your stomach can handle that much sheer awesome. Since we've already done something that challenges the very being of health food, the logical step was to go green. A very simple and tasty salad known as the lettuce wedge. 

Easy. Take your head of lettuce, rinse it off. Then cut off the stem. After that cut it in half, and then into quarters. While I had it apart I did pull out the piece of the stem. You will instantly have four portions of salad, that is fresh and crisp all through as well as visually appealing.

If you hold the head of lettuce with the stem side up and strike the core with the heel of your hand and drive the core deeper into the head, it will release the entire core in one piece. Just reach in and pull it out!

Why in the world hadn't I ever thought of that? I was taught at a very early age to put the core side down and *THUMP* the core up into the head of lettuce against a solid surface. Either way works, and both have their advantages at times. A sincere thanks for your perfectly obvious alternative!
