We very rarely are out of lettuce. When we are, it's time to
hustle to the grocery store.
 
I put lettuce on all sorts of sandwiches. Chicken, turkey,
fried egg....

I'd much rather have a bacon and fried egg sandwich, thanks. ;)

I meant to do that for the 2nd helping last night but forgot.
Last week I did do a microwaved potato then turned into lumpy
mashed potato. I did top that with a juicy over-easy egg. Broke
the yolk over it and it was very delicious. :)

Not something I have ever made. Do I see that you part cook your
potatoes first?

Yes, I can taste it but find it doesn't add a wow factor or make me refuse to
eat a BLT if it's missing.

I can never discern whether a dish is missing bay leaf or not thus I don't use
it. One herb I can definitely tell that will overpower a dish is sage. That
is one addition I'm very, very careful when adding. Taste, needs a smidge
more sage; taste, needs a smidge more sage; taste, ok, that's plenty, add no more!

I'm that way with thyme. If a recipe says 1 teaspoon, I add no more than
1/4 teaspoon.

although there are health benefits to eating lettuce despite its lack
of vitamins I do not advocate for BLT wholeness/purity based on that
 
as Gary eloquenty put it lettuce adds the crunch factor - texture is a
major transcendent property of BLTs

I like the way the cool lettuce offsets the salty, smoky bacon and the
sharp, sweet tomato.

Sage is an herb I don't use, don't even have any, I don't like
breakfast sausage because of the sage. I use marjoram instead.
I use bay leaves but I count how many I add and write it down, then I
know how many to pull out before serving. Bits of broken bay leaves
are added to my pickling spice.

Exactly! :) The HVAC tech who did some routine maintenance last year
told me some of the employees are testing thermostats with a voice
command feature. He said one guy had to disable it because his very
young kids were were using the thermostat to order things from Amazon.

LOL. That's a funny thought. Also just talking to a pet. No
telling how the electronics listening might interpret it.
 
"Hey Mia, are you hungry? Need some warm gravy meal?"
 
Two days later you get an Amazon delivery of case of ferret food

A friend of mine has that problem and the docs have stopped her taking
them for more tests. Now my husband has started taking them and guess
what?? Yes he has started with painful legs too. He has simply stopped
taking them!

LOL To think all this talk about chili sauce in meatloaf started when I
said I used bottled cocktail sauce in my meatloaf recipe. I really did
mean Heinz cocktail sauce, although the chili sauce works, too. :)
 
The reason I remember it was cocktail sauce is because I mailed the
recipe to my mother. My recipe stated add *half a cup* of bottled
cocktail sauce to the meat mixture. She read it as "add a bottle of
cocktail sauce". Oops! She called me and said the mixture was very
wet. Gee, ya think? Mom never claimed to be a good cook. It was nice
she tried my recipe. :)

Okay, that's a new one. Gluten free milk? I googled and got this:
 
"Most milk and many dairy-based products are gluten-free, but as always,
there are exceptions. Plain milk—regardless of whether it's regular,
skim or even heavy cream—is gluten-free."
 
So, they're slapping a label on milk and probably raising the price just
so they can claim it's "gluten free". I sincerely doubt most people
have to worry about gluten content in milk. Except for the nuts who
like to jump on bandwagons. ;)
