Oh! I meant Butter -- not Bibb maybe. What's the really soft lettuce?

Bibb lettuce appears to be Cook's Illustrated's rec.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, I don't think I've ever had a non-messy lettuce wrap.

Romaine has that stiff, crisp spine - you can drizzle a little filling down it lengthwise and try to curl the edges around as you eat. I've had some success with that, but it's not really tidy. The less filling you try to put in the tidier, fwtw.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I had a paranoia fit, because the web site confirmation when I bought my TDKR ticket said I'd gotten one for a late Friday (3:30AM) showing. And the confirmation said I'd gotten one for Thursday the 19th (3:30AM).

I know it's Friday morning at 3:30AM, but stupid things happen, right? And I'm not allowed to actually cry because I miss a movie. So I went to the theatre to retrieve the tickets. Which say what I knew they'd say. Now there's the possibility of losing the, but they're in my knapsack, in that pocket, so I'll be safe. Alarm is set, clothes are laid out, I'm having a magic muffin and hydrating, and then I'm going to bed.

Went out dancing with K-Bug and a friend. Lots of line dancing, great band, free booze (ladies night), and tons of sweat. Got home a bit ago, took a shower, and now I'm waiting until 3am to head out to pick up CJ and his friends from the trilogy. Then sleep. Blessed sleep.

Suzi, are you anywhere near Aurora? I heard there was a shooting at a TDKR screening at the Aurora Town Center.

Holy Crap! That is just to the northeast of us. Not a theater we have ever gone to but I know where it is. YIKES. That is horrible. 50 people wounded in addition to the dead. I want to go hug CJ now.
