Spinach Salad
Last night I wrote a little story
About my supper how it was gory
I put it in the fridge that night
I knew I would eat and not waste this delight
I got up this morning and made my drink
Coffee with cream , they definitely link
I got in the fridge to get the milk
There sat the crap that I had built
The smell was overpowering me
I put my head between my knees
I got the milk and shut the door
I didn’t want to smell that anymore
When lunch time came and it was time
I got out the bowl but it seemed a crime
I ran the water and dumped the bowl
Down the little garbage hole
Instead I got out the spinach leaves
Cut up tomatoes and some cheese
Added some dressing and spices too
This was my new lunch and I bid ado

I have never tried peachy balsamic vinaigrette. I love the flavor of peach so I bet I would love it. I will try it!!

We loved it, but if you like a sweeter dressing you can easily increase the amount of honey in this dressing. We thought it enhanced the flavor of the peaches in the recipe, too. Hope you enjoy it.

I love raw cabbage, but I agree – it needs to be eaten there and then.
I also love spinach – either raw or very very slightly steamed so that it’s wilted but still crunchy. I think one of the nicest salads I’ve ever eaten incorporated spinach and samphire 🙂

could you explain what samphire is please?

Aside from “seriously yummy” it’s difficult to describe, so here’s a Wiki link 🙂

I realize that bringing my diabetic sugars from high back to normal is going to cause a huge change in my body. I am so cold all of the time. at one time my iron level was a dangerous high, and solving that problem meant giving up cooking as much in my iron skillet. but now with the cold feelings i have added iron back in through the colors of greens instead of the iron skillet

I’m just getting caught up on back e-mails. I love your poem and I love spinach salad, too. But I cannot eat it cooked. Yuck! I haven’t had spinach salad recently but I used to use coleslaw dressing on it. I’m not fond of vinaigrette dressings.

I’ve been rather sporadic on the computer the last few days. And today, when I thought I was going to get so much done, I discovered a leak in the hot water pipe behind my kitchen cupboard. At first it was a wet mat when I got up this morning. I moved the mat to try to get it dry. Then I discovered the floor was wet again. I took everything out from under the sink (and there was a lot to remove) only to find nothing dripping there. But I could hear the dripping, then I started to hear hissing, then I saw steam coming from the other part of the cupboard. That’s when I took out half the stuff in that cupboard and discovered a muffin tin filled with water plus a few other things. The assistant super tried to fix it and thought she had caught it until she could get the plumber on Monday. She came back a while ago because she could hear water dripping downstairs in the mail room. But she wasn’t satisfied, so she called the plumber tonight and he’s coming after 9:30 when his daughter’s hockey game is over. What a weekend!
