This week Liz of
The Not So Skinny Kitchen chose Creamed Spinach. I love raw spinach. Cooked spinach is not so great for me. So I was not really excited about this recipe, but I tried it anyway.
The Gods however, were not with me on this one. First of all, I did not have any chicken broth so I used buillon cube (fake broth). It made the spinach pretty salty.
Second, I wasn't sure reading the recipe how thick the cream sauce was supposed to be.
And third, and the worst of all, AFTER I mixed in the evaporated milk, I noticed it was a little off color. So I looked at the can and it expired in 2009! It was too late. It was already mixed in the spinach. My husband assured me it would be fine. I quickly googled (my favorite past-time) and there were many comments on there that said expired milk would be fine to use as long as the can was not puffed up. However, there was this ONE comment that said there was a reason they have expiration dates on the cans - because after that date it is unsafe to use and it would poison you. We ate it. Here's hoping.
I think I'm just a raw spinach type of girl.

I am not sure, I would be brave enough to eat it with that doubtful milk, though.
Keep posting, so we know it has not affected you.
I'm sorry you weren't crazy about this. I actually quite enjoyed it, much to my surprise!
The evaporated milk was only 2 TBS. I'm sure, even if it were bad, that was too small of an amount for concern. We expose ourselves to much more potentially "sickening" things throughout the day in higher doses than 2 TBS, I'm sure.;)Good job, Peggy.
