The other night we got home late from going out and running errands so we copped out on dinner and decided to heat up a frozen pizza. So I fished the box out of the freezer and started to read it to figure out how long it would take to heat up. Right there on the front is the admonition: "Do not serve frozen. Heat before eating."
After heeding the ever-so-sound advice of not breaking my bicuspids on an icy block of dough, cheese and pepperoni (but still not wanting to wait the 18-20 minutes it would take to heat up said pizza without eating something in the meantime) we decided to make a salad. So out of the fridge comes the bag of romaine hearts (or "les cœurs de romaine" as Viv pronounced it rather accurately. Of course, I heard "liqueur de romaine" and started wondering who the HELL figured out you can get drunk off of lettuce.). No admonitions on this bag, but they did have this gem at the top of a bag of lettuce. A mostly transparent one, mind you: "Ingredients: 3 romaine hearts".
