Heh.. it seems like any travel around this part of NY means getting on an
interstate (g).

Sounds yummy :)  Do you put onion slices in your spinach salad?

This is the recipe I usually use for Spinach salad:

===Spinach Salad===

Salad:
1 pound fresh spinach
4 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1 red onion, sliced
bacon bits

Dressing
1/2 cup olive oil
2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
salt
red pepper

Clean spinach, removing all stems.  Rinse well in cold water.   Pat dry with
paper toweling.  Place spinach leaves in bowl with other salad ingredients. Mix
dressing in a bottle or container with a lid, seal and shake.  Pour dressing
over salad and serve.

hehe.. almost :) :)  Though I think Ron did appreciate the hot chicken soup
this week while he has been recovering from that pneumonia!

I checked to see what kind of hours our farmers market has now... there are 3
locations where they hold them here in Ithaca, and only one of the 3 will be
open from 11/1-12/20.  The other two locations closed up around Halloween. I
guess they don't get the business or maybe it related to the weather, which can
get nasty ..


Take care,
Janis
