I am so glad that my home state figures into today’s feature. On this date in 1899, the very first can of Carnation evaporated milk rolled off the assembly line. And how does this figure into my state? The first factory was located in Kent, WA. How on earth did I not ever know this? It was originally called Carnation Sterilized Cream.
