Water, it appears, costs exactly one human nose.

I was raised on powdered skim milk for quite a few years.

We eventually had a hostile takeover of the shopping list and demanded reparations.

I *hated* powdered milk as a kid.

It is cheaper, and I'm sure it's not so bad in recipes, but it destroys the joy of breakfast cereals. I was so sad that my Kix were so disgusting...

Powdered milk is one of the NASTIEST things ever. Just the thought of it makes me want to gag.

I do have a super-easy bread recipe that uses powdered milk, though. Yum!

do you mind sharing the bread recipe? please?

Sure! It's really easy. It makes a bread that has kind of a big crumb; it's not super-fine like store-bought bread, maybe because there is only one rise. But it's really good!

EASY WHITE BREAD

Mix in large bowl:
6 c flour (I use regular all-purpose white flour)
2 t salt
3 T sugar
2/3 c nonfat dry milk

In a medium bowl, mix:
2 1/2 c warm water
2 packs yeast (you know, those square packs from the grocery store?)
1/2 c vegetable oil

* Add yeast mixture to flour mixture
* Blend well, then knead until dough is elastic and smooth.
* Put in greased pans (I think this makes two loaves)
* Cover in warm oven (like at the lowest possible setting) for 1 hour. (I put a cotton dishtowel over them.) The loaves should double in size. If they double before 1 hour, don't worry, just go to the next step.
* After the hour, turn the oven up to 350, bake at 350 for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 325 and cook for 30 minutes.

After you take them out of the oven, cool on wire racks for 10 minutes or so, then turn them out. Don't leave them in the pans or they'll get soggy.

You can mix up the white flour with wheat if you want. Or add cinnamon and raisins before you knead it. Yum!

I'm getting used to powdered milk, and I don't mind it (boyfriend uses it, I moved in with him and picked up the habit). But then I don't drink a lot of milk, I only use it in tea and cooking.

It makes me think of the fish counter at the grocery. I guess it's due to her expression.

No, it's actually dehydrated milk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powdered_milk).

This is also making me wonder at what point advertisers started using 'low calorie' as a selling point.
