Let’s be honest. Throwing away a whole head of lettuce feels like a personal failure. It’s a tiny edible tragedy.
You had plans for that salad. That lettuce was supposed to be part of a better you. Now it’s in the compost bin, mocking you.
Don’t beat yourself up. It’s just lettuce. It happens to the best of us. Buy a new one, and this time, you know the signs. You’re a lettuce detective now.
