Also, last time I went to buy organic spinach, it was from China of all places. When I bough tfrozen broccolli last week, I saw that it was from Guatemala! The veggies have traveled way more than me.

With this out of the ordinary cool weather, I'll fire up the oven and make spinach, chicken, and feta pizza. Yummy! Clever title. I just finished poaching some chicken breasts.

I remember they would sing it on Little House on the Prairie all the time. You're frozen spinach is a great idea...I love the stuff. I put it on veggie pizzas all the time!

Wait isn't that an oxymoron? Giant Baby? Like Jumbo Shrimp? Anyway..I blanch it and freeze it and my husband always says "hey you shrank the spinach." That Kahuna is quite the card.
