Odds & Ends

Turkey-Spinach Burgers with Sweet Soy-Ginger Sauce caused quite stir.  I received many enthusiastic and appreciative e-mails and the recipe was even honored with a Top 9 rating on Foodbuzz. If you supported me and Ben Gebo in the competition, I thank you.

Meanwhile, one visitor to this site asked if I would demonstrate my technique for blanching and drying the spinach. I hope my little demo answers your questions about the procedure. It only takes 5 minutes from start to finish and fresh spinach is infinitely better than frozen in this recipe.
