Eat the stems


My mother-in-law called on the phone several times but unfortunately (for me), I didn't rush to the phone. I was taking a shower before dinner to avoid getting dog hairs in my freshly made pasta, but that was certainly no excuse for not answering her call. So she gave me the dregs of the spinach. I wasn't sure whether to say "thank you" or something less appropriate. She told me I could "eat the stems." I guess if I want a fresh spinach salad, I'll have to answer my phone.
