I’m also contemplating on getting a salad spinner… but I’d rather just settle for this:

Place lettuce leaves in a plastic bag, put a few paper towels inside and shake it up!

The paper towels will absorb the water.

Gd luck!

I’m coming late to this party, but I had a tip to share. Our kitchen has a metal hood over the oven, and I will attach the recipe for whatever I’m working on there with a magnet. It keeps it at eye level (and away from potential spills) and when it’s done, it goes right back into the recipe book.

PS–>I just discovered this blog a few days ago and I’m making my way through it! Thanks for sharing all that you do!

LOL!! Okay, I’m laughing at the visual images you’ve given of flying lettuce towels. Sounds like great exercise! After I rinse lettuce, I just leave it in the colandar and shake it up & down over the sink to knock off the extra water droplets. If there’s much water left, I just consider it part of my water consumption for the day :) For any leftover lettuce, I line a reusable ziplock with a paper towel to soak up moisture. The wet paper towel is then ready to use at another time to wipe up a mess from the counter or floor [a regular occurrence...you have to know me].

Last night I was wishing I had a salad spinner after I picked lettuce from the garden. Now I know I have one in my towel drawer….
