Lettuce: The Sedative Of Life

Did You Know? Lettuce is a natural sedative. That's why when you go out to lunch and only have a salad (trying to lose weight) when you return to your office it suddenly becomes almost impossible to stay awake. Many people avoid sugar during their lunch break thinking that it will "drop them like a hot rock" in just a few minutes and induce sleep mode. In truth it was/is the lettuce. Sometimes you just can't win!

Granny's Old Fashion Chili Sauce

May thanks to our friend Carol Feltman for this wonderful old-home recipe.  We tried it and it was one of the best we've ever had.

Carol Says:

This is the best! My Granny made this and I have been in love with it ever since. It is good on so many meats, and whatever else you may find to put it on. Enjoy :)
