This was fairly flavorless. It could be doctored up to taste better, but on its own, there's not much to it. We added more lemon juice. If I were to make it again (not likely), I'd probably add some other herbs and spices. -
This is a wonderful side dish. I had it with pork chops, carrots and some crusty bread. The bitterness of the lettuce balances very well with the sweetness of the peas. Only change I made, I substituted 1 1/2 tb flat italian parsley for the thyme as I prefer it with peas. Thanks for a nice dish.

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper)
I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke)
On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
