Boston is butterylicious, but as a single dude I've practically eliminated lettuce from my shopping list, except the pre-washed/bagged kind (tired of throwing out bags of half-eaten wilting or rotting produce). Boston is almost practical for me (one head/one serving) but I hate washing and drying lettuce.

/No spinner

Not single, but essentially in the same boat.  I picked up a head of leaf lettuce and am doing my damnedest to scarf it all before it goes, but I'm not holding out much hope.

I eat a salad of some sort damn near ever day.  haven't had a bottle of dressing in the house since the ex moved out over a year ago.  She was decidedly an unadventurous eater and didn't like any of my vinaigrettes.  Stupid bitch.

No spinner?  Wash it then wrap it in a clean tea-towel and give it a good shake.

I get tired of buying those expensive bags of washed salad leaves so I'm growing my own on the kitchen window-sill.

That Boston lettuce looks like the kind my mother used to serve with a raw egg-yolk and lemon-juice dressing.  Yummy.  I think I'll have to make some now that you've reminded me of it.....
