I cooked it last night, dismissing any concern about Jane&#8217;s absolute detestation of cooked spinach, because she always has a bit of mine when we go out to the Thai restaurant, and the taste is the same. She was dubious at the first bite, then today, when I went to the store, asked for a repeat tonight of the same recipe. \ud83d\ude09 I can oblige: dead easy to fix, and serves as many as you have spinach for&#8230;MUST start as raw spinach, no frozen stuff.<\/p>\n<p>I bought myself a new purse. The other one had gone all the way to looking, well, disreputable doesn&#8217;t cover it. But I&#8217;m very fussy. It has to have 3 or more outside pockets, shoulder strap, interior divisions, be able to hold a cellphone and camera, and have some security against an accidental spill. You could hand me a 12,000.00 Vuitton bag and I&#8217;d sniff and pass it up for one from Freddy Myers if the pricey one didn&#8217;t meet my conditions, and if I had the spendy bag, I&#8217;d treat it just the way I treat my succession of other sad bags. Trade purses until the current one dies or begins to resemble road kill? No way! But I&#8217;ve been looking for 3 years now, and finally found one that meets my criteria&#8230;looking like something I&#8217;d carry is at the bottom of the stack: it&#8217;s faux grey crocodile, which I refer to as neo T-Rex. Looks pretty spiff, and let&#8217;s hope it absorbs scuffs well, because I do hang it from chairs, set it on the floor and kick it under the table.<\/p>\n<p>And the snow is coming down: we&#8217;re forecast to have our January this month, so we may need green woolies for St. Paddy&#8217;s Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The poundage is loss of &#8216;wild weekend pounds&#8217; and therefore not a real weight loss.
