Question
Hello Wenwei Jia, I pray for your recovery from whatever it is that has debilitated you so.  In the meantime, I would like to know when to harvest my RA.  The head of our plant is approx 41/2" to 5" and the surrounding leaves are spread out nicely and appear quite healthy.  Have you eaten this type of lettuce before?  Do you have any recommendations on how you might prepare it?  I was going to mix it with romaine in a salad.  Should I only use the head in a salad and use the leaves ornamentally for display?  What do you think?  God bless and Godspeed my unseen friend.  Bj.  Thank you very much.

Answer
Dear Bj:
It is so nice to hear from you again. I am okay now with my artificial knee. Thank you for your concerning.
About the lettuce as long as the leaves is good, healthy you can use for anything. If you feel it is still tender then you can make soup and use for display. We also stir fry lettuce with some garlic too.
How big this leave is the inside one? Our chineese will prepare stir fried dishes and use the lettuce leave as wraper,then you put food inside the leave and roll them up to eat.It is good.

Thank you for asking me the question again.

God Bless you and your family! Have you see "the Passion"? We took some Chinese From Shanhai to see it.
