Hi, Paul, We used to have such a salad a couple of times in the spring, when the lettuce was young and tender. Pick and wash a bowlful of new leafy lettuce, slice up some onions and add to the lettuce, fry up some bacon 'til crisp and crumble it in with the greens, and drizzle the hot bacon grease over the salad and serve right away. Not my favorite salad, but not my least favorite, either. Gosh, it's been many years since I've had it... and it's spring... hmmm... Is that the way your wife's folks fix it? Hope all is well with y'all, Carolyn HALE BRUCE Virginia Beach, VA

My granny use to take lettuce and onions, Mix oil with bits of bacon, add a little vinegar to give taste and sugar, bring to a boil and pour over lettuce and onions. Yummy.... We planted about four rows of October Beans and would shell them and granny would can them, made some great eatings with cornbread. Daddy always took cornbread and crumbled it up in buttermilk. He really liked that. All this talk has bought back some awsome childhood memories.
