Try them sometime soon! Yummy! Also they all are VERY high in nutritional content.Natalie Lovinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177728027490488507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298939183167432529.post-27829444097084252822011-01-19T18:12:07.475-06:002011-01-19T18:12:07.475-06:00I don't think you have mentioned anything abou...I don't think you have mentioned anything about kinds of lettuce.
