Spinach Porridge

A porridge which i've been eating since my childhood. Mum used to cook spinach porridge for us when we are kids and even whenever we are sick. How come until now i still have a good memory of the porridge is be'cos the way mum name spinach.

We used to watch popeye cartoons on tv almost everyday and whenever popeye needs energy, he would eat spinach and become strong. So mum decided to cook spinach with porridge and call spinach "popeye veggie". Hey, i find that it is a good way of getting kids to eat more vegetables. Telling a white lie that we can become strong like popeye! haha... but it is also true, at least vegetables is good to our health and prevent us from falling sick, but the super lame lie is that we can become strong immediately after eating! :-P
