    Chinese spinach isn’t a variety of amaranth, it IS amaranth.

    I think some blog readers could use yet another reminder from WSB that today is the last chance to pick up or return library items at the West Seattle branch before it closes for two weeks of maintenance.

      Yeah, SPL has been nagging us about that via Twitter. It’s in the calendar but nonetheless, I’ll post something separate. Thanks for the reminder. – TR
