Part of the problem here is unit of measure. Percentage of calories
from fat is pretty tricky. If something is 29% fat, that generally
means 29% fat by weight. Fat is 9 calories per gram, and carbs is 4
calories per gram. Fiber and water are zero calories per gram.

Somebody is going to say it, so I will: All commercial condensed milk
is sweeteened. At least in the U.S. Evaporated milk isn't sweetened.

Condensed milk is not a substitute for skim milk. Who even brought up
skim milk in a sausage and gravy thread, oh never mind.

I don't know why this has to be so hashed to death. You fry some
fucking sausage, take the sausage out of the pan, add a couple of
scoops of flour to the sausage grease and stir. Then after a couple
of minutes you add milk. Viola, gravy! Add the fucking sausage back
in, heat and serve over biscuits. Oh and now I'm sure we'll have to
have a 743894732974289473473892478392478327302947832702938 post long
thread about fucking biscuits. Sheesh.

Flame on!

I keep canned evaporated non-fat milk on hand for my hurricane kit (used to
be an earthquake kit). Reconstituted with water it makes a passable
substitute for the real deal. I've got some of the dry milk powder, too,
although I despise that stuff. When I was a kid my mother thought she'd
save a little money so she bought powdered milk - just add water! YUK!
Maybe cooking with it was fine, but who wants a tall cold glass of that
stuff?!

When I was a kid, my Mom had to cut some corners to make the budget
work, and one of them was mixing the milk that us kids went through by
the gallon each day with half powdered milk.

It was drinkable, but had a weird taste that was never an acceptable
substitute for whole milk.

Now I don't care for whole milk except for cooking and drink non-fat
milk when I want a glass for just drinking. I disliked non-fat milk
most of my life, but after drinking it for health reasons, I got used
to it and now only drink that kind.

They never got the taste of powdered mild down at all. Nasty stuff.

Landon,

After Pop ha a few heart attacks (Mom's gourmet cooking), he was advised to
start Weight Watchers. He switched to powdered milk. We were spared from
drinking "his" milk. I don't think he really liked it, rather he just
learned to live with it.

Mom toned down her cooking quite a bit for which we all suffered.

Best,

Andy
