I don’t know about spinach, but I reheat turnip greens all the time. Never had a problem. I nuke them for a couple of minutes.

Wow, **Otto** again finds a cite to try to slam me with. This is gettin old, bigboy. Nothing better than a freaking blog to back it up? Guess you put me in my place on that one.

**Zoe** , I recently went through that with a Dick Cheney visit. It was very eerie to drive down a long stretch of road with no traffic and police staring at my car from every side street.

I had forgotten about the visit, and for the first few side streets, I was thinking, “Wow! Look at all these speed traps!” :smack:

We live a stone’s throw from the UN building. Every time a Prez, whether Dem or Pub, comes to the place, fucking lockdown. Miserable traffic. Even pedestrians have a hard time of it.

I’m in favor of all government centers being moved to the most rural county in Wyoming.
