Lettuce - It Lives! Thanks to Osmosis!

I hate throwing food away, and doing say makes me feel all guilty. A voice inside me says "Chris - you make me sick. There's millions of starving people in the world and you are throwing away food, because you selfishly bought more of the stuff than you could possibly eat, you asolutely selfish pig." Lettuce often ends up in the bin, because there's only so much lettuce you can eat before it goes all flacid and unappetising.
But worry no more! I read on one of my favourite foody blogs today that lettuce can be revived by immersing it in a bowl of cold water, which through the magic of osmosis will transfer water back into the wilted leaves re-strengthening them. Imagine that! In fact, you don't have to imagine, you can watch a video of the effect on You Tube.
