In the troposphere, temperatures decrease with altitude (air pressure), which is known as the adiabatic lapse rate (9.8 Â°C per thousand feet). While there are different tempeâ¦ratures throughout the atmosphere, there are both increases and decreases in it as one moves upwards.
To easily shred romaine lettuce, stack several washed and dried leaves, roll up to form a cylinder and slice crosswise at 1/4- to 1/2-inch intervals. For best results, do not toss lettuce with dressing until just before serving as the dressing wilts the leaves.
A benefit of growing your own lettuce is you can harvest it right before eating it. Rinse the leaves under running water. The easiest way to dry them is to place leaves in a salad spinner to remove the excess water. Or, you can dry them with a clean cloth or paper towel. If you wish to harvest lettuce earlier in the day for later use that day, store it in your salad spinner in the refrigerator. Or, refrigerate in a plastic bag.
