What’s Popeye gonna eat now?
For over a month now, Lokes and I have been eating spinach salads almost daily.
And now this happens. And I found this out from a bistro lady in Duvall yesterday while ordering lunch. I’d wanted a spinach wrap. Imagine the look on my face, thinking about all the spinach we ate. And the two packs still in my fridge. Such a friggin’ waste.
I know, I know. I should be relieved we’re not in a hospital.
Still, I love spinach so, so much.
What is the world coming to that we can’t eat even spinach without dying? Pretty soon we’re just gonna be better off eating paper and wall plaster.
In other news, we were visiting the library yesterday. As usual, Rae makes a beeline for the computers.
“Remember, 15 minutes only if someone is waiting to use, okay?” I call out my gentle reminder.
To this, my dear four-year old replies cheerfully - and a little too loudly, “Okay mommy! You go look at your ADULT books! I will be at the kids’ corner!”
Needless to say, I got more than a few alarmed looks and sniggers.
Does the library even have ‘adult’ books?

Are you going to see the doc for confirmation? Or just wait & see if there are any symptoms? *Touch Wood* but hope things are fine with your family.

Rae is so cute!

Oh my, I see you kena spammed too. Anyway, I think you can get a refund (for recent purchase)for your spinach if you still have the receipt.

I stopped by a couple of times but didn’t have enough time to any comment. *how* do you find time to do none-kid stuff.. please tell.
I made a smoothie with some spinach in it earlier this week. Yikes. No more salads and must cook all veggies from now on. Glad you’re all OK too.
That was a hilarious comment by Rae. HEHE

Jenn: I dunno, the kids sleep around 7.30pm to 8pm so after that I read, play my video games, go to the gym, clean house hehe. Weekends, sat usually we do our chores in the morning before moving out. Sun - anything goes.

I’m going through spinach withdrawal too. Love the stuff. Wilted in evoo with loads of garlic, is my standard quick, green veggie. Hopefully they’ll sort out the mess soon.
