Refreshing Iceberg Lettuce
The iceberg lettuce is, in a way related to the white round cabbage. They look almost alike except for the texture of the leaves. The leaves of the iceberg lettuce is lighter in texture and thinner in density. It is simply refreshing when eaten raw in sandwiches or salads, but here in Malaysia it is usually blanched in boiling water, drained and drizzled with some garlic oil, a dash of light soya sauce and some pepper. This dish basically needs no formal introduction, so I guess I won't dwell in it too much.

It's one of my favourite lettuce. It's crispy and easy to clean.

not totally off meat as yet ... just reduced portions, and I have fallen sick with stomach flu (too much detoxification, you think?)!

Cath, maybe your body needs sometime to adjust to your new regime. I guess when we detox, we need to increase our antioxidants like conplimenting with juicing.
