   lettuce refrigerate why

   Most things with leaves aren't easily infected by bacteria.   
   I guess for the reasons that they normally live outside as plants.   
      
   Which brings me to my storey after I just came back from Costco.   
   I have a lot of Romaine letuce 6 packs I just washed to rid it of the bugs.   
   I washed & rinsed pulled leaves in the sink and put in a bucket to dry.   
   Bucket won't fit in the frigerator but wifey is all up and mad about it.   
   Wifey wants me to back the lettuce & then fill the frigerator with it.   
   I think it will do just fine at the 70 degrees we keep the house at.   
      
   Why does letuce need to be in a frigerator anyway?   
      
   It might not be as crisp after days in the kitchen.   
   But do bacteria really attack lettuce in a week or two?
