is "as safe as it was before the outbreak," even though investigators have not determined the cause of a deadly E. coli outbreak...

HA ! is it a joke ?

Noticed that ALL the leafy vegetables in our local store was from Salinas, California. Didn't touch a thing and unless the source is marked, I don't buy it.

So much for organic folks. It means "real sh**" in your fridge.

Looove Boston Markets creamed spinach. Decided I could do it myself. Butter, cream, beef boullion. Excellent!!

Yup.

Popeye

Was getting a little bit scrawny there.

Newflash. It still tastes like spinach and I don't have to like it.

I thought it said, "French spinach."

Disney put out a 2-DVD set of war time cartoons (the feature length film, Victory Through Air Power, and some educational and informational shorts).

Some of them were for South America and basically tried to drive home the idea "don't crap where you eat" including an animated segment where someone with the runs ran into a cornfield. The film showed the proper way to build a latrine.

'Federal food safety officials said fresh spinach is "as safe as it was before the outbreak,..." '

Why is THAT not reassuring?
LOL!

e. coli is spread by the use of manure from infected cattle.

As most are.

They need those cartoons for the workers in California to see..We lived in Korea for two years on compound and was told never eat out in town unless it is a better hotel the we dine at..People just don't know how sick you can get from food that is not sanitary..I always bring my fresh veggies home and rinse them in bleach water...and make sure you rinse very well and drain..I even do that to packaged salads and leafy veggie I buy..

I love asparagus. Drive through those big coastal farms in Ventura county. Find the guy that runs the place and give him $10 for part of his crop. We picked 10 pounds of big ones. Mmmm. Steamed with melted butter and lightly salted. You can also stir-fry them with a dash of oregano and some zuchini and add tomato sauce.

The funny thing is that the best crops are already bought to be shipped to other places than here. That's why you don't see the 16 inchers in local supermarkets.

I was hoping someone would put him up! :-)
