This is a strange confession to make, but I love spinach. I love it cooked, fresh, in salads, pastas, on pizzas, and shoved directly into my rectum to absorb the nutrients through my winking browneye. So with the recent E. coli outbreak related to bags of fresh spinach, I have found myself without one of my favorite healthy food ingredients. However, I haven't purchased fresh spinach for quite some time (I heat up a lot of frozen spinach when I cook at home), so until the other day, the recall of spinach hadn't really hit home.
On Tuesday, I went out to lunch with my coworkers to a joint in Lakeville that serves kick ass little personal pizzas overflowing with fresh toppings. I decided to do something different, so I ordered a 5-cheese pizza (cheddar, mozzarella, asiago, parmesan, and fumunda) and asked if I could add spinach as a topping. The guy behind the counter looked at me like I was from the moon and had three testicles growing from my forehead. "Uh...we don't have spinach. Pretty much no one in town has spinach." His tone silently added "ya dumbass!" to his last sentence. It still didn't register until I paid for my order ($5 for a pizza and a drink--tough to beat). Then it hit me--the spinach recall! Of course! I felt like an idiot, particularly once I noticed the sign posted next to the register apologizing for not having spinach. No matter. I'll settle for frozen spinach at home for a few more days. It's better than a terminal case of splatter ass.

I didn't realize how much spinach I really consumed until this shitstorm (pun intended). I miss spinach too sweety.
Spinach please come back!
I also miss sex! Sex, please come back!!! *sings "Memories"*
Jeremy, you gotta tell me what software joint you work at in Lakeville...my corowkers and I thought we knew of them all (cause there can't be that many) but we are preplexed.
I work at one as well.
Also, whats this kick ass little pizza joint? Sounds like a good cheap lunch!
Phil, I understand your curiosity, and while I am not completely anonymous with this blog, for the purposes of my own privacy and remaining gainfully employed, I will not mention the name or indentifying details of my current employer or past employers.
As for the pizza place, the $5 deal is a special, but their normal price of $6 isn't too bad either. I'd prefer not to publicly blather that one since they are already getting crazy busy! I want them to do well, but also want us to be able to get a table in there. It's a selfish Catch 22! *grin* Email me, and I'll send you the info.
