Creative Meals with Spinach

Our spinach corner is still thriving so fast. I have been harvesting spinach almost everyday. And since the leaves are growing faster than I could use them, the family have become creative in making meals with spinach.

I have some in the freezer after washing them, letting them dry and packing them in ziploc bags.

I have mixed chopped spinach with a simple fried rice.

Fried Rice with Spinach:
Heat the pan and add oil. Sprinkle water over left-over rice, mash them a bit then add to the pan. Mix the spinach. Season with pepper, salt and garlic powder. Mix. Serve with green salad.

My husband have grounded spinach mixed in his spätzle (homemade German pasta); the spinach turned it into a wonderful green color that the girls cant get enough of it!

Our hamburger relishes now include freshly picked spinach leaves, instead of lettuce.

Our green salad bowls are flavored with spinach leaves, too.

We use chopped spinach leaves in our egg sandwiches.

There's always spinach spread in our potato gratin.

Our lasagna's been turning green with spinach.

All our pasta recipes are laced with spinach.

I have plans to make spinach tempura in the near future.

And we cannot wait to start making different spins of spinach soup!

We love our spinach! Dont ask if we suddenly turn green!

She's Gone

And I was just thinking of sending her an e-mail a day after she left.
I wanted to ask her how she's doing.

I wanted to know if we could finally visit her.
If she's finally well enough to accept visitors.

I wanted to feel again her special kind of friendship, our special kind of friendship.
After all, we havent seen her for more than two years.

Though we have closely communicated per email, that's not enough, of course.
I wanted to see her again. I wanted to give her a hug. I wanted to hear her.

I wanted to show off the girls.
How grown up they are.

I wanted to thank her for her help.
How her words and her recommendations were followed.

That last email that I wanted to send her?
It was supposed to comfort her, to tell her we are continuously praying for her.

I wanted to show her that she is not alone. That even though she is too sick, too weak, too weary; people who love her wouldnt want to miss being with her. Just being there.

And now, I could only write this blog post. In the hope that she would be able to read it.

Dear Renate, it was a shock to read your obituary in the newspaper yesterday. But it is good to know that your pain is gone. We are happy that we have shared special memories with you. I am sure, wherever you are, love sorrounds you. You might want to keep your eyes on us, once in a while; to keep us from being naughty. Or else we wont receive that special homemade Christmas card tucked with special Christmas stories created by you year after year. I know, I know, you see, I am hoping I would look up in the sky and find your signature there, too! We wont forget!
