something “everyone” (except me) knows about… lettuce and spinach preservation

So recently (ok it was months ago) I was excitedly telling a friend of mine about this wonderful trick I’d learned (from my father-in-law, thanks Burt!) to preserve spinach/lettuce/etc.

Sooo…if you put leaves of lettuce/spinach/etc. in tupperware (etc.) in between two damp paper towels… it lasts longer.

As in, normally we’d go through half a bag of spinach in a week, and throw out the rest. But now, I put half in the tupperware, go through the half bag, then go through the leaves in the tupperware.

Yay for being old!

ANYWAY. So my friend, we’ll call him “asshole #2″ for now (me being #1) – who doesn’t read this blog (but if he does, hi Andy!), tells me “Oh, everyone knows that.” But I didn’t.

So, just in case you didn’t know this, now you do, and now you can act all in the know whenever people talk about this stuff.

Because it’s important dammit.
