You can freeze just about anything with liquid nitrogen. Although freezing lettuce or any other food with it isn't exactly a good idea, as cooling down something that fast can render it as brittle as glass, making it easy to break. You won't want to have lettuce that is so hard it could break your teeth.

Can liquid nitrogen freeze the wind?

No. The wind is composed of a small amount of water vapor and about 20% oxygen and about 80% nitrogen. The water vapor may freeze but the oxygen and the nitrogen cannot freeze at the temperature of liquid nitrogen. Oxygen has a much lower freezing point than liquid nitrogen and if the nitrogen were to be frozen, liquid nitrogen is not cold enough to freeze it...sort of like trying to make ice using cold water.
