Buy lighter colored oils. Darker colored oils are more flavorful than the lighter colored oils, but the lighter oils have a longer shelf life.

Thanks. Didn't know that.

There is NOTHING that improves the taste of powdered milk. Vile nasty stuff. Was forced to choke it down as a kid. Won't have it in my house no matter what hits the fan. Wouldn't even consider it if it were a zombie deterrent. Evaporated milk is only slightly less vile so have a few cans of that. To each his own.

After an expensive (even at diy $) much needed repair (and ten more still on the back burner) this summer the budget isn't there for even an extra can of corn. So, changing gears back to organization of what is already on hand. That's a free cost exercise and might save some $ when a long forgotten something pops up that is a useful prep item. Clearing out junk will give more space for preps.

I use dry milk for cooking, only. Things like cornbread, cakes, etc.... do just fine with dry milk.

Beer is for drinking. ;)

That’s why I buy Nestle Quick at the local Mexican food store to make it more palatable and why the mexican version? Because the 14 oz size comes in CANS not cardboard tubes.

granted, powdered milk is not great to drink, IMO...but its fine for other recipes.....it does terrific for making white sauces...my mother used to use it all the time for making scalloped potatoes and she cooked for large groups...

otoh....keep some Hershey's choc. syrup around....
