Ok, so I am studying Family and Consumer Sciences Education (formerly known as home economics education). It's pretty sad when your husband says that he hasn't seen any evidence that you haven't really learned anything, but I proved him otherwise and now make it a point to point out when I learned something in class.
Yesterday, we were saddened when we saw our spinach sitting on the counter from the night before all wilted and sad looking. I learned in my foods classes that you can do some really cool things with veggies if you put them in ice cold water (like green onions will curl when you cut the green part thin enough), and you can keep stuff from browning. I don't know if I actually heard it could revive them, too, but I tried it. And it worked.
So if you ever have greens/veggies that are limp, go put them in a bowl of ice cold water, and watch them come back to life!!! Be sure to pick out any of them that are dying (for spinach they go dark green/black) because when the cells die (and turn that color) they release some sort of chemical that makes the ones surrounding it die, too. If they are in water, it will spread even more. h, and make sure you use them that day (especially if it's spinach maybe celery and carrots would last a bit longer).
