Scalded Lettuce
I would take the aluminum dishpan up to the lettuce bed there
beside the grape arbor, down and out from the shed door. The lettuce
was sewn thick in about a 4x10 (maybe!) bed. I would pull up plants
or pinch off leaves until I had a pan full.
Now I will have to guess: I think Aunt Merica put vinegar, bacon
fat and sour (maybe just cream) into a skillet. Once it was boiling
the lettuce went in, got turned until the leaves were wilted and
then served.
