Jann, I SO remember canned spinach - just like Popeye, right? It was something I absolutely couldn't stand, and my mom would make me sit at the table, long after everyone else had left, until I ate it. After that start, I'm surprised that I really like fresh spinach, which we eat a lot. And those Good Seasons salad dressing mixes definitely had a spot in our cupboard. So much of what we grew up with was "convenience," but did introduce us to the art of food prep, eh? PJH
