Foxy Lady:That is so true. I like beefsteak, as the name suggest big and large. Foxy question for you when you fry up your green tomatoes do you slice them or just quarter them?

spicieangel:

They sound a little like a polka dot plant but I have never seen them flower, ever
Perhaps it is a variety of Rex Begonia
No, now that I re-read your last message it cannot be a rex because
their leaves are large

Tell me about it's root system

What does everyone think about the E-Coli outbreak ? I'll never buy bagged veggies again.

Subjekt: Re:
Foxy Lady:

The sad thing is that the only way to buy fresh spinach is in bags most of the time
It's pretty hard to find around here any other way, except frozen which is yucky, imo

Bagged salads are so convenient but I guess they're risky now too

Subjekt: Re: Bagged vegs
Foxy Lady: I would think it was more of a risk to buy un bagged vegs because lots of people go to the toilet and never wash their hands.

Foxy Lady 
Subjekt: Re: Bagged vegs
Mousetrap: It's a risk know matter what whether bagged,frozen or fresh.We also have some cases in NY the news said today.I always ran and picked up bags of lettuce not anymore.Last i checked on the news there was 94 cases of E-Coli.

17. septembra 2006, 02:22:33
Bernice 
would it be the vegie that has the e-coli...or has it been handled by someone with the filthiest hands etc...I mean the garden isnt the cleanest of places either if you thinks of birds pooping, cats digging and dogs spraying, but if you wash it, there isnt a problem....I never buy bagged vegies...i used to but found that in the centre of the bag it was all starting to break down, so now I dont buy that way....If I cant put it in a paperbag myself, i sure as hell dont want anything in a plastic bag.

Subjekt: Re:
BerniceC: I think they have to wear gloves like any food handler.We checked some bags at the store and found some that looked like it was rotting.Where we shop all the bagged veggies and salads are being pulled from the shelves.
Here we have strict state health rules and they do check and publish which failed the inspection,stores and restaurants.

Subjekt: Re:
BerniceC:

A report I heard on the radio stated that the e-coli comes from the manure that the spinach was grown in.
E-coli is apparently an animal by-product, meaning it comes from the intestines of the animal which the manure is used to grow the crops.
Gross!
Where I work we use horse manure all the time but it is steilized at extreme temperatures for many weeks to kill all bacteria.
Perhaps these food companies weren't taking that extra step

It's interesting to me thjat we haven't heard the name of the producer of these bagged spinach products yet.

I am guess it's a big manufacturer and they are being protected so far by the media

BerniceC: I find that lettuce actually keeps fresher in a plastic bag in the fridge if I add a little water to the bag and keep it wet it last longer too. If I don,t use water and just put it in the fridge it will go rotten.
As Foxy said, you are damned if you buy in bags and damned if you don,t.

The FDA said late Friday that the outbreak had been linked to bagged spinach products distributed by Natural Selection Foods, based in San Juan Bautista, California. The company has agreed to recall its bagged spinach products and has stopped shipping them.

ajtgirl: These were in the camera, I forgot they were there. Only 3 pics added to same album but it looks different in winter. Well crikey! Would you beleive that? It worked the first time I tryed it but it does,nt now okey dokey.  I just refreshed the link and so far it is working.


I give up, I found out what is causing it,  the source  keeps changing and adding extra letters, every time I delete what should not be there  it works for a while then the extra letters appear in the source and I get a server error. Never mind.

Time to plant BULBS everyone!
I bought some Tahiti Daffodils, Forbessi Blue Chionodoxa, Gladiator and Ivory Queen Allium,  Muscari and Anemone

It helps me get through the New England winter knowing I have something to look forward to in the early spring.  It's like a little gift when they come up.

Where are you? in the sth island? I used to live in CH.CH...that was either too hot with the westerly winds or too darn cold due to the snow on the hills :)
I was born in Takapuna on the Nth Shore of auckland.
