    I’m not a spinach guy myself, but the rest of the family is. I have this one earmarked for when I go see my parents and brothers.

    Hmmm..sounds interesting. I will definately have to try this one day. It’s one of the simplest receipes I’ve ever seen and I’m sure I can find something to do for those 2 hrs while it’s it’s in the fridge. Thanks for sharing. I do have one question. Would it taste just as good or throw off the recipe any kind of way if I leave the honey out? I’m not a fan of honey. However, I will use it if I can’t really taste it. With those others ingredients, I doubt if I would taste it anyway.

    Hello Lauren – nice to see you publishing your tasty recipes once again. Toasting the pinenuts makes th’ flavour better. Can you substitute them with other nuts ? j

    I thought I could try it but after spending much for the expensive tabasco and Worcestershire sauce- it is rather expensive where I live- I realized that pine nuts can’t be had for love or money around here! Any alternative?
