in case you missed it

for those of you who didn't show, we partied hard with powdered (dry) milk this week. so here's the info you missed:
we taste-tested and the verdict is in - morning moo is (relatively) delicious. it is powdery and when chilled, can just about pass for actual milk.
Q: but my family won't drink the powdered stuff. why should i store it?
A: good question. you can use dry milk in tons more ways than just to pour on cereal or wash down a cookie. you can use it for:
  • Mashed potatoes – stir dry milk in with dry potatoes, add milk mix and the water to replace the same amount of milk. (1/8 c. moo milk mix and 1 c. water = 1 c. milk)
  • Cream based soups,
  • white sauce,
  • smoothies,
  • Orange Julius,
  • Pudding,
  • fudgesicles
  • Light cream,
  • Evaporated milk,
  • Sweetened Condensed milk,
  • Buttermilk (add lemon juice)

Here are the recipes that were handed out:
