Spinach Pie (A Rhode Island Thing) with Spinach Salad

Tonight's dinner is a baked Spinach Pie from Uncle Tony's Restaurant here in Rumford. Hubby picked them up when we had a pizza one night and I froze them. They are huge! So, I am making a spinach salad with mandarin oranges. It is sooo good and I will bake one of the spinach pies and split it between hubby & I. So, poor Mike, he has another dinner with green stuff. But I know he likes spinach pies. They are made with an italian bread dough and filled with a spinach that was cooked in some olive oil. Add to that some black olives and voila, you have a spinach pie!
