creamed spinach

ok, so.....i have already made the cranberry sauce, have already purchased the sweet and sour red cabbage with bits of apple, and today i will prepare the creamed spinach.....using a recipe from one of the food blogs....yeah, i am making it a day ahead so i can transport the dish cold and warm it up in cincinnati........taking it hot would be problematic......i have tried numerous creamed spinach recipes over the years....most i prefer to the original mother-in-law 'recipe', which nobody seems to have.......what i can tell you is that there is an unwritten expectation for creamed spinach to be at family gatherings, and that whatever i bring will not be quite like it should be.....which is why i volunteer to bring this dish year after year......i actually like creamed spinach, and i might as well make the kind i want to eat.....
