DawnNYS, regarding your question about romaine lettuce, I came across this in a blog...

take a look at his most recent entry. He grilled the romaine by cutting it in half lengthwise, and topped it with a blue cheese dressing. If you try this, let us know how it turned out.http://dinnerwithjames.blogspot.com/

Thanks, looks interesting.

But my romaine is long gone... I didn't really like it cooked - it concentrates the bitter taste. Thanks for thinking of me, though, Dawn!
