I am making this recipe posted by ohiomom - it looks so good!

Spinach Loaf with Curry Sauce - ohiomom

2# fresh spinach

1 tbsp. butter

1 medium onion, chopped

2 (organic) carrots, grated

3 eggs, beaten or 3/4 cup egg beaters

1 cup milk

1/2 cup bread crumbs

3 Tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Salt & Pepper, to taste

Sauce:

1 1/2 Tbsp. butter

1 tsp. curry powder

2 Tbsp. flour

2 cups milk

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

Salt

Rinse spinach, cook in pot until just wilted, drain and cool. Squeeze out moisture and chop up.

Sautee onions in 1 Tbsp. butter. Add to spinach and mix. Add carrots, eggs, milk, bread crumbs, cheese and salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a loaf pan, line with wax paper and butter the paper.

Spoon spinach mixture into pan, smooth out the top. Cover loosely with foil. Place in a pan with an inch of water, bake about 1 1/2 hours or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

Let sit 10 minutes before unmolding.

To make sauce:

Melt butter in a sauce pan, add curry powder and flour and whisk for about a minute, add milk and cayenne and salt, continue whisking till it comes to a boil.

Slice loaf and serve with sauce spooned on each slice.

I made some buttered noodles, added sauteed red pepper from my freezer stock, just for color :)

The food critic had seconds ... LOL !

My question - is it 2 POUNDS of fresh spinach??? I know spinach cooks down alot but it's also so light - it seems like 2 pounds would be a TON!

I have a big 9 oz bag steaming right now....what do you think???

How hard a frost? A frost will kill a bloom & maybe soft new growth, but roses are hardy plants, overall. If you have mulch available, water the plants & mulch them well. If you're getting more than a few degrees of frost for more than a few hours, you can cover new plants with empty pots, garbage cans, cardboard boxes, sheets, etc. They'll be ok. Might as well cut blooms now & enjoy inside.

We had a similar experience except we didn't come to terms with our dislike of the tile until after it was installed. After ripping out what was originally installed, and getting some great input from this forum, we went with NMVS 662 Rust from Noble. Below is a link to our build thread if you want to see pics. Scroll about half way down. We're now very happy with the final look. Here is a link that might be useful: Our Build Thread

Countertop veining. Need quick help please
Q

The whole idea is to give the illusion that your counters were carved in one giant piece out of one giant slab, therefore, what your fabricator proposed initially is ideal. As for this: “Once he was on site, the fabricator seemed to agree with me and suggested the European curved seam at that point,” I think he was simply trying to appease you. ;) Beautiful kitchen, btw!

Stacy, I have found it really hard to work with spinach measured in pounds! Two pounds of fresh spinach by weight would be a bushel I swear!

Go with the two packages and see what happens. It's a custard it will still set up fine regardless of the amount of spinach. After the fact you can decide if you would have like more.

Personally, for this recipe, I think two bags of Spinach is plenty.

One of the stores I go to has spinach in 2 pound bags.
2 pounds of spinach is about half a bushel...;-B
but cooked for 3 minutes it's about 2 1/2 TO 3 cups.
Think about how little spinach there is in a frozen 10 oz package....drained it's about a cup or a little less...
I tell you spinach is not much but water.

Stacie:
The recipe sounds good to me. Ohiomom usually has good recipes.
I might try it myself.

Cook it all and buy more. If it's too much (I don't think),
Make an Spinach Omelet.

I agree. Love her recipes.

She posted this one here awhile ago, with a great photo, and I saved it. My loaf tasted good - the sauce was GREAT - but compared to the photo that was posted, mine had way more spinach...

I can't remember the name of her blog. I'll do a search and try to find her!

Thanks!
