I'm in spinach withdrawal.

[flvegan]

My evening salads aren't the same. Sure, just throw more red leaf and romaine in there, it'll make up for it. NOT. I still have a bag in the fridge. I've been as of yet unable to just let it go. I may partake in the forbidden green 'n leafy...I'm feeling reckless.

And even still, the green of this bottle of Heineken is sooooo close to the green of a fine spinach leaf, I feel like it's almost mocking me. I shall have to finish it so that it can be gone, reminding me no longer of that which I should not have.

1. The spinach goes directly to the trash can.

Do not pass go, do not collect $200, do not make me tell you how I felt after eating the salad bar spring mix of doom.

Just throw it out.

[flvegan]

11. Can rescue bunny eat it, d'ya think?

Would it be dangerous for King Ad Rabbit to have?

[LeftyMom]

13. I wouldn't risk it.

Pitch it unless you compost, and get him some nice carrots with the green bits on the top (those are bunnies favorites) at the store. And some kale for both of you.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

18. Not for my bunnies.

Except for grass, they hate eating green things...

Yup, I have some weird ass rabbits.

[LeftyMom]

20. Mine wins though

His favorite things were pepperoni and humping the (boy) cat.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

21. My male bunny is way hornier now that he's neutered.

It's like he knows it's safe sex or something.

It's still not as weird as the female German Shepherd we had who liked to hump our male cats. I know it was just a dominance thing, but it was still overall weird.

2. What about aruuuuugula?

That's a not-bad sub for spinach.

[blondeatlast]

5. "It's a veg-e-ta-ble" (from My Blue Heaven).

I just love that scene--and arugula is a good substitute, but it still isn't the same.

[blondeatlast]

3. I'm freaking going bat poop crazy!

Hubby and I part veg (eats fish, eggs, dairy) and we both love spinach.

HELP!

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. I grew it in my garden this year...I would share if you weren't so far

away... in Florida even...fl(as in florida, not five) vegan. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Perhaps you can grow your own?

I know it takes time to do that, but you'd know it's safe!

And it can be grown in containers if you don't have any garden space...

Just a thought, my dear flvegan! :hug:

[flvegan]

7. I eat probably

a third of one of those bags of it each day. It's the Popeye side of me. I'd need a hydroponic room to grow what I needed.

'Tis a great idea, though, and someday Peggy, I'm going to have enough room to grow my own, mark my words.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I know you will, my dear flvegan........

I know you will.......

And good for you, sweetie!

:hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

19. If you had a hydroponic room...

I could think of better things to grow than spinach.

[Broken_Hero]

9. sorry...:(

I can't eat much spinach myself, but I do love the spinach/artichoke dips, they are a slice of wholesome goodness in my book...:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

10. Me too!

It ain't right... x(

[nytemare]

12. I put spinach in just about everything.

Even if I was lazy and made a frozen dinner, I would cut up some fresh spinach to throw in there. I am sad.

[mzteris]

14. quick - find your local farmer's market

And you can use the spinach you have - just COOK it. Ok - cook it very well - but cook it nonetheless. (More than just a quick saute.) How about spinach soup? Spinach lasagna? Spinach casserole. Well - you get the idea.

I also went to the farmer's market and bought it local. I guess *any* spinach (fresh veggie/fruit) *could* be "contaminated" - but - well, I could get hit by a bus next time I leave the house, too.

[Sugar Smack]

15. Me too. Unless I take frozen spinach and cook it

and press the water out, and add margarine and a tiny bit of salt, garlic & pepper. Spinach is one of my favorite foods.

[bicentennial_baby]

22. Please come to Boston!!!!

I make the *best* spinach!!!! :bounce:

What more do I need to do to woo you?! x(

:loveya:

[Sugar Smack]

27. I just screamed a little. OMG!

It's 2:39 AM here. WTF business do you have making me do that? I freaking love you!!!!!!!

:bounce: :toast: :silly: :loveya: Also, how do you "make" spinach? :silly: :rofl:

[flamingyouth]

16. I bought some frozen spinach on Sunday.

Sadly and reluctantly. I miss spinach too. I miss my spinach salads with some red onion, some Smart Bacon and red wine vinaigrette. :(

[Sugar Smack]

17. There, there, sweetie. Me too.

:cry: :grouphug:

[u4ic]

23. Me, too

I miss my Earthbound spring greens mix. Every meal (except breakfast) includes a big salad; it's a mainstay of my diet.

Luckily, I've got some fresh garden tomatoes and cucumbers to hide the bland taste of the romaine...:-)

[SoyCat]

24. Well, my husband and I had to make do with Swiss chard tonight. Oh, who

am I kidding? We love the stuff; it was hardly *making do*!

Sorry you miss your spinach so much. I can't make my bean curd soup without it :-( .

[fishwax]

25. I hear ya

Me too. This weekend I'm going to have to break down and get some frozen spinach.

Spinach is about 75% of my vegetable intake.

[mykpart]

26. Popeye the sailor man

Put his lunch in the garbage can
Said, "This awful grass
Could blow up my a**
And knock me clear to Iran!"

[TreasonousBastard]

28. I eat 2-3 pounds of spinach a week and I ain't stopping...

of course it's mostly frozen spinach that I cook up with lots of other stuff. Spinach goes with just about everything.

Tried to grow it this year, but something killed it off both both times I tried. Got tiny seedlings which mysteriously disappeared overnight.

I'm gonna try again in the mini-greenhouse if I can find any more seeds.
