spinach tip

learned this one from a new cookbook:  when you cook spinach, you can put in one handful at a time, let it wilt a little, then add another handful.  once all the spinach is in the pot, cook it for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.  before, i'd put all the spinach in at once and it was too poofy.  and two bunches of spinach shrinks down to NOTHING!
