**Lettuce- In a glass jar w/ a sealing lid or a pickle jar or such, take a head of Romaine lettuce or other long lettuce, cut off the end and pull apart the leaves. Fold and place in the jar till full. Seal it and place in the frig. When you want a salad, remove what you want, wash and eat. This is supposed to extend the life of the lettuce. Also set the end in water and it may re-grow more leaves.

**Veggie Food Scrapes- Save these scapes from food prep, the onion skins, the carrot ends, the ends of garlic, celery,,. Place in a silicone bag and pop in the freezer and add to the bag till full. Then pour in a pot and simmer for a few hours for veggie broth. Add seasonings as desired. Then put in the compost.
