Re: (...)
I blanched about 2 pounds of spinach this morning/afternoon using a deep sauté pan. When I was finished I had about a half-gallon of the darkest green spinach water I've ever seen. I was thinking of using it as a base for some type of soup or other dish...ideas? It's just too spinachy to toss out.
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

Adjust the seasoning if need be Billy, it and drink it. I am sure you will like it as I do, and I really love it. I find it best drunk at room temp. or slightly warmed. If you can get some into Fredia so much the better. That thar juice is a tumble of vits and goods. We have, if you recall, a juicer, and I have started to use that a lot. Silver beet juice is divine, truly. So is raw beetroot juice. And they both have potassium in them. Such a neglected min. and so essentual. Heave some parsley in with them, so delicious, and celery, asp, and parsely is to die for.
Of course, use it for a soup or casserole base if you want, very good indeed. Yum yum.

You have made a stock Billy, green gold. I adore veggie stock.
