e-coli is a nasty bacteria that gives you the nasty flu complete with the barfs and runs (sorry to put it so blunt). it can get so bad where you are hospitalized due to deydration. people have died from it.

I know we don't even have a microwave. We have this state up mind that the only thing you can cook in one is unhealthy stuff, but I guess this changes my idea!

Snopes.com Says:: Prepackaged salads and spinach may contain E. coli. Status: True. I will post the whole article in a new blog..

I will just post it here also Gas prices are related to several elements. Inventory of crude oil and gasoline product in the United States: If inventory is low, people are afraid there will not be enough and prices go up. The U.S. is at an all time 5 year high on inventories now because all the refineries bought crude oil and made gasoline with the prices so high this summer. We were at an all time 5 year low on inventory after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita last year (which drove the price up). Crude Price: If crude oil price is high, gasoline price will be high, since gasoline comes from crude oil. Crude oil dropped from $78/bbl to $66/bbl in the last 4 weeks. That is a 15% drop in crude price which should point to a 15% drop in gasoline price. Crude Oil price is related to crude oil production from OPEC (OPEC production is at max levels ever), fears of war in the Middle East, fear of crude oil pipeline attacks in Nigeria, and Hurricanes in the Gulf Coast. The Middle East and the Nigeria problems experienced over the summer have quieted down. There have been no hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and the weather people lowered the threat of hurricanes to normal vs the prediction of a rough hurricane season in the summer time. Seasonal gasoline spec changes: Winter Gasoline is cheaper to make, so the prices go down. The RVP (reid vapor pressure) is allowed to increase, allowing butane into gasoline in the winter. Butane is a cheap component and has good octane. Winter gasoline is usually 10 cpg or more cheaper than summer gasoline. There are also no VOC (volatile organic compound) specs on winter gasoline which there is in summer time. The VOC specs are only in the summer because they increase the bad effects on the ozone (which is a summer time problem). Also, gasoline demand is highest in the summer time when families are driving across country on vacations.

This looks yummy. I've never used the microwave to cook anything, just re-heat.

I know I love it too, but I think I will give it time. You know I read some where that the bagged salads have traces of E.Coli in it. Hm Maybe, I will snopes that.
