Lettuce Sleep Well
Lettuce is weak.
And floppy…
And makes you sleepy!
I’m not kidding: Ancient Egyptians and Romans even ate lettuce to help them fall asleep after dinner. Apparently some lettuce species secrete lactucarium, which is essentially a mild, lettucy opiate…but I can honestly say that I can easily pass out after every meal without the help of any damn lettuce secretions.
If you really want a leafy green with substance and strength look no further than
*drum roll*
the cabbage!
Sure, it’s got a bad rap for inducing flatulence, but you’d be lying to yourself if you said you didn’t enjoy tooting that special horn once in a while. (You may even help wake up a few of those groggy, lettuce eaters in the process.)
I’m totally loading up on lettuce with perhaps a little cabbage to boot– my husband could use some entertainment while I’m sleeping.
Mmmmm cabbage.
Boiled/Steamed Cabbage is absolutely one of my favorite vegetables, such a unique texture.
Florida Girl: Your husband is a lucky man! If only all wives were as dedicated.
Marvin: Mmmmmm is right
Ferguson: Damn staight! Cabbage is so good. Have you ever had stuffed cabbage rolls? mmmmllllaarggll
I just ate a giant salad (chock-full of our friend, lettuce) and no WONDER I’m so sleepy. But I’m also wondering if there was some cabbage in there, ‘cuz . . .
Cabbage is truly an international food, different colors, from different parts of the world. Pickled, boiled, baked, its all good. Ok, now “pull my finger”.
well i must have had some cabbage yesterday because i woke myself and my coworkers up. just rude of me.
toot toot.
Natural: Haha. that is hilarious. But what are you doing sleeping on the job? wait…You’re ALL sleeping on the job?
