I especially liked the OED reference. <BR/><BR/>But I guess the point that I was trying to make is that it's a recipe for people who hate following recipes and just want to throw things together that taste yummy with little or no effort.<BR/><BR/>It's all very anti-establishment. Just like my refusal to do that final rinse.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209008161233482678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20601607.post-1140635304820550992006-02-22T11:08:00.000-08:002006-02-22T11:08:00.000-08:00I am going to have to agree with Aunt Marlene here...I am going to have to agree with Aunt Marlene here. From the New Oxford English Dictionary:<BR/><BR/>recipe:<BR/>a set of instructions for preparing a particular dish, including a list of the ingredients required<BR/><BR/>But let's talk about the fact that I had completely forgotten that I hate when you say "fresh veggies" and when I was reading this post I had this horrible flashback to some time when we were talking about eating or a picnic or something and you said we would just have some yummy fresh veggies and I almost vommitted. Vegetables are gross and yucky and the only reason anybody should ever eat them is to lose weight.<BR/><BR/>I do eat a lot of spinach though, and I was noticing the other day on my bag o' spinach how it told me that spinach is a "magic" food because it provides you so many good things. Now, I kind of think the people at Chiquita should be annoyed because they produce, "quite possibly the world's most perfect food." Perhaps we can arrange a battle of banana vs. spinach and see who comes out on top.<BR/><BR/>And let's be honest here - you have never once done the recommended final rinse. You totally go straight from bag to plate. But I think that is fine since this stuff is already washed. I applaud your rebel non-washing ways.Kartikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929191747144409378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20601607.post-1140510543947268592006-02-21T00:29:00.000-08:002006-02-21T00:29:00.000-08:00of course it's a recipe! just knowing what to comb...of course it's a recipe! just knowing what to combine makes it important enough to let everyone know. Every recipe is just telling people what to combine, ok sometimes there are a few more instructions and trickier stuff to do, but essentially they are all the same. Example: Recipe for caramel apples: melt Kraft caramels, put sticks in apples, dunk apples. I mean really, and your recipe combines the goodness of baby spinach with the amazing goodness of goat cheese crumble. Now of course I wouldn't be caught dead with thousand island dressing, but hey, can't win 'em all. Love ya! Aunt MarleneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
