-0500 From: Randee Fried <Noellekk@AOL.COM> NOTES : Here is an
easy way to use up lettuce leaves which are not crisp enough to use
in a salad. You can substitute 1 1/2 Tablespoons for the lemon juice.
For microwave ovens lower than 700 watts: 500 watts: add 40 seconds to
every minute stated in recipe. 600 watts: add 20 seconds to every
minute stated in recipe. 650 watts: only a slight increase in
overall time necessary.
