spinach

[Guest guest]

Hi Bethie,

This is a wonderful and simple spinach recipe. The trick is to not overcook

the spinach in step 1. Last time I made it I julienned some sweet red pepper

and sauteed it with the mushrooms. Nice colors. Enjoy!

I'll take a stab at it. Right now they don't have a definite source.

Let's say a spinach picker did not wash their hands after using the

bathroom or an animal did their " business " in an irrigation ditch

between the rows. This would limit the area to a certain number of

bushels of spinach - a manageable number. The spinach all goes to the

same processor and packager. They may be mixed with more spinach and

possibly more gets contaminated. I'll guess 1000 pounds gets

contaminated after mixing etc. It may be more or may be less. It

goes to stores and people buy it. Everyone has a different immune

system.

 

Louis Pasteur was the fellow who came up with the Germ Theory. In

effect, the germ theory states that germs cause disease. You've seem

this countless times especially where there is a concentration of

people like a school classroom or office or house. Someone gets sick.

Some people contract the disease and some people stay well. Why? At

that point in time, the people who get sick get the sickness because

their immune system for that particular disease is primed to accept

the sickness. The people who do not get the disease are the people

who have an immune system able to ward off the disease.

 

When Pasteur was on his deathbed, He said " The soil is everything "

(in French of course). What did he mean? The competing theory with

the germ theory was and is the Soil Theory. The Soil Theory position

is that Germs, fungi and parasites only thrive in a toxic body. They

will not grow in a healthy body. Germs are not the cause of disease

but the result of disease.

 

Most dis-ease starts in the colon. It is the breeding ground of

dis-ease in the human body. If the colon is healthy, chances are the

body will be healthy. It is also interesting that Ecoli, the cause of

the spinach controversy usually comes from the colon.

 

I can go on from here telling how to keep the colon healthy and work

back through the other organs but this is plenty for now.

Many people have a higher tolerance to bacteria in their bodies and many

people don't go to the doctor if they feel like they have the flu. I do

believe there are many more unreported cases.

Not to beat a dead horse here, but I'm wondering if anyone can explain why

only 150 some odd people have become ill with E. coli in this latest

outbreak.

Surely hundreds, if not thousands, ate spinach on any given day during

this

time period. Thoughts anyone?

I will add this to the previous topic. The same thing that applies

to humans applies to plants. By that i mean that the body has to be

healthy enough so germs do not affect the body. One way to do this is

to get the bioorganisms in t he body (i.e. colon and other organs)

so they reject the germs. The digestive tract needs organism like L

Acidophilis, bifidus, L. bulgaris and many others. Most people think

that the soil needs just minerals to grow. The fact is that plants

will not grow well unless the soil has bioorganisms condusive to

plants. The bioorganisms are needed to ward off disease and to make

the minerals bio-available.

 

In july, the garden columnist for the Anchorage Daily Newswrote a book

explaining the relationship of soil and the organisms. I am not

trying to promote his book. I met him a few times many years ago but

have not money interest from promoting his book. He used to be " Mr.

Chemical " but turned 180 degrees around.) He tells about it in this

article in the Anchorage Daily News.When people start feeding the

organisms instead of only adding minerals to the soil, it will change

agriculture. Here is a link to the article. The lady on the

forefront of this is Dr. Elaine Ingham, a microbiologist.

Absolutely! The only thing I have a bit of a problem with is the fact that

this strain is so virulent that you would think many more people would have

come down with it. Thanks for your response.

There is also another story on www.cnn.com stating more cases and possibly

more deaths from the spinach.

The strain of ecoli is one found in cows that eat grain, not grass as mother

nature intended. The current theory is that the contamination came from a

feedlot.

We pretty much stick to spinach salads. Not a big fan of cooked spinach (I

got sick eating it as a child), but I don't mind it on a pizza. Especially

if you have a Papa Murphys around - they're a take and bake chain and they

use completely fresh ingredients on the pizza. But I can buy a bag of

spinach and Ethan will eat the whole thing in salads before I get a single

leaf!

In the recipe files there is a spinach folder with

lots of recipes. I toss it into tofu and stuff shells

with it. I toss it into my pasta sauce and make a

Florentine sauce. I loive spinach but NOT canned

My favorite spinach dish is cooked fresh spinach,with a mixture of

melted mexican type cheeses, inside two flower tortillas which have

been browned on each side. Topped with a dollop of sour cream, chopped

lettuce , tomato and guacamole. It's called a Quesadilla.

[Guest guest]

we eat fresh spinach as a salad mixed with sliced strawberries, pecans

and chevre goat cheese, no dressing....delicious this way.

 

I also put a handful in my fruit smoothies

 

Also use it in place of lettuce on sandwiches sometimes

[Guest guest]

It is good on sandwiches, in my opinion!!

Me, too, but I eat it in salads and wilt it into pasta sauce. It makes it look

funny, but it tastes good and adds a lot.

I got the idea just recently of trying to grow some greens around the

house. (!?!) I spend enough time tending and trimming some plants that

really get pretty big and bossy but are themselves rather useless. I'd

much rather have something to eat! There are several species and

hybrids I've been reading about that should be able to grow as

perennials in my (temperate) climate. The space spinach hybrid -- a

so-called " three season spinach " -- should be able to hump over the

summers here but if it bolts and goes to seed, so much the better for

next year. The Malabar spinach sounds really interesting. I've just

got some seeds for 'em and this is supposed to be a beautiful plant

that can grow in vines on a trellis like ivy. Called bak choy in some

places, it's perennial too, very nutritious, and I have a lot of back

fence it can cover. Dwarf blue kale and dinosaur kale seem to like the

summer weather here and I am planning on seeing how they (and some

others, strawberry spinach, New Zealand spinach, leaf chard) all fit,

washed and snipped, inside the rice cooker with some brown rice,

lentils and spicy bean-garlic-habero sauces.
