I'm Blaming the Creamed Spinach.

I had my day planned out to the minute - photos to scan, a special blog post to write, tomatoes to roast, meatloaf to mix, a walk, a shower, small group, meatloaf to bake, knitting with friends ... and finally creamed spinach so I could get dinner to Katie's in time for her to take finished photos of Sigla. (whew!)

I've made the recipe before, but I don't remember how long it took. Ellie says it cooks for 10 minutes so 10 minutes is what my schedule allowed. Of course it took longer - more like 30. Maybe because I doubled it? or maybe because I used non-fat milk instead of 1%?

In any event, the sauce did eventually thicken. It tasted delicious. I got the dinner together and delivered (and Katie texted they loved it).

But there was no time for photos. So today's planned FO post isn't going to happen until next week.

I can report it's finished, though, and it fits!

Lydia said...: Haha-and the spinach is smart and not arguing back! Best laid plans and all that, but you have a FO! Can't wait to see it.; Saturday, 05 November, 2016
Kym said...: Timing is everything when it comes to cooking . . . and I almost always find that it takes longer than I THINK it's going to take. But yum! Looks mighty tasty.; Saturday, 05 November, 2016
Bonny said...: Clever you! Even though the photo shoot didn't happen you wrote a great post and increased our anticipation for Sigla. My mil brought us dinners for most of the first two weeks after my boys were born, and I'll always remember that as one of the nicest things anyone could have done.; Saturday, 05 November, 2016
Juliann said...: I am excit d to see you finished sweater. I am still on a he body of mine.; Saturday, 05 November, 2016
AsKatKnits said...: Oh yes! Pearls and Lopapeysa's - they are made for each other! I love it! And, I applaud your Creamed Spinach attempt, however lengthy, fat free milk is the way we go now also. It messes up lots of recipe's that I "knew" how to make. But, it makes divine yogurt!; Saturday, 05 November, 2016
Carole said...: What a good mom you are to make that dinner. It's the kind of thing my mom did when Hannah was a baby and I appreciated it so much, I'm sure Katie does, too.; Saturday, 05 November, 2016
margene said...: The dinner sounds amazing. I'm looking forward to Sigla!; Sunday, 06 November, 2016
Honoré said...: You had a jam packed schedule...the spinach looks tasty and well worth the wait...as will be the Sigla reveal...will be watching.
Cheers~; Sunday, 06 November, 2016
Vera said...: Oh I love creamed spinach! I've had the same problem using fat free milk...take a whole lot longer. But yum! Can't wait to see Sigla!; Monday, 07 November, 2016
