Ok, bad spinach = bad juju.
Is fresh spinach ok? I haven't read either way.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

My best friend's twins were 6 weeks early and little -- 4lb 2 oz and 4 lbs 12 oz -- but they have grown ginormously in their first 6 months.
Boy is over 20 lbs now and
Girl is about 18 lbs. If I remember correctly, that's bigger then Plei's (OMGSOADORABLE) 17 month old.

Now tagless for your comfort.
It was bagged, fresh spinach that was of the bad, Aimee. But it's ok if you wash it. I suspect a lot of people just eat it without washing it--as does my DH. He's lazy like that.

Ok, got it. Thanks, love.
BTW - I showed my co-worker some of the pics of O&O, and she said, "Those are two of the most beautiful kids I have ever seen."
She's so very right.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Bagged spinach hasn't been confirmed as the culprit, but it's the only food so far that the victims have had in common. E.coli dies when you cook it, though.

Well yeah, the bags say pre-washed! What's the point of buying pre-washed greens if you're just going to have to wash them again?

EXACTLY!!! I knew pre-washed greens were too good to be true. I hate washing greens but love eating them.

Not sure about that - I think the problem with E. Coli is it needs to be cooked to kill it, and I don't think washing will remove enough of it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

My favorite vendor at my farmers' market has fresh greens and pre-washes them. I rinse them before eating, but I'm grateful to her for doing the hard work. It's cheaper than the bagged stuff, too.

In college, most of my "salads" were: buy bag of stuff, open bag, pour in salad dressing and anything else (croutons, nuts, dried fruit, apple,) hold bag closed, shake, open bag out flat, find fork. Eat salad from bag.
