i cook it all the time, along with dandelions, collards, kale, mustard, and so on.

with garlic and lemon juice

gingerand green beans

cubanelle, serrano, and anaheim peppers. and those others you stuff with egg and cheese that i canr re.member the name of

poblanos

but i dont like it cooked to mush so i stop before they shrink to a singularity.



set the function, not the mechanism.

If you put lots of stuff in there, the spinach disappearing isn't so much an issue. I use bacon. :smilenod: YMMV

Yes, there is. It's teleportation to a parallel universe.

I blame those pesky vegetarian house elves, always stealing socks to stuff with spinach leaves just before disappearing into an alternate dimension. ::)

It's explained in "Lord Demon" by Zelazny and Lindskold. The socks and hangers go to their own planes of existence.

As far as the spinach and bacon, the difference is that spinach is mostly water.

i remember zelazny.

but isn't bacon mostly empty space?

So is the spinach, but the fat and protein do a better job of holding the water. Also less water in the bacon.

I've just noticed a couple of our emoticons have reproduced in captivity. 

:hooked: and   :sidesmile:   have produced little :rowr!:! Let us all welcome this feisty new emoticon to our little zoo.

This killed me! :lol: :rofl: :lol:








She says:

Thank you for participating in the group Bairro da Tristeza. I've been a killer for 68 years.

"Matadora" can also refer to "hired assassin." :lol: Obviously the work of malicious autocorrect elves, she most likely meant "moradora" (resident).

:worried: Or maybe not. :watching:

How giraffe evolution really happened.
That top one. It looks like it bites. Yep. Totally bites. Good thing they evolved, yes?  :???:

My alternate theory though, there was once an spotted horse with a really short, fat neck and legs, what went for a drink in a river. A croc grabbed its head and pulled, but its legs got stuck in the terrain aaand... They stretched while growing thinner. Then, giraffe. And that, boys and girls, is how evolution works.  :smilenod:



...Totally not ripped off either. A original theory, that.  :grin:
