I don't buy ice cream often at all...maybe 2-3 times a year. I
only buy vanilla (or vanilla bean). I don't want other flavors or
ingredients in it.

To drink or use in cold cereal, I'll buy whole milk and use it
within a few days while it's still very fresh. For cooking, I'll
use older milk or the canned stuff.

Been down that road.

Even worse, I hadda drink powdered milk --again!-- when I was in my
late teens. In the USAF, I got stationed in Lybia NA (pre-Gaddafi)
and we hadda drink "reconstituted" (read "powdered") milk. It was so
bad, ya' hadda choose chocolate milk cuz the white stuff was
absolutely horrible.

OTOH, a small carton of USAF recon milk (yes, even came in half-pint
cartons) and a loaf of locally made bread (looked like a Bánh mi
baguette) may have been one of the best tasting food combos I ever
ate. Trouble was, this particular combo --no matter how good it may
have tasted-- would have you dashing fer the latrine within 15 mins.

True tale.

Same here, though my favorite ice cream is vanilla. I like custard and
many other milk products.

Several!

Here's a main one. It's a seafood chowder. I tested several and
adjusted to come up with this one.

Later renditions I used worstershire and liked it but the pure simple
without it stands on it's own. A hit with the 'I like it hot' crowd
for this one is Cholula hot sauce at serving time.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

Title: Seafood Chowder, Crockpot
Categories: Crockpot, Seafood, Xxcarol
Yield: 4 Servings

1 1/2 lb White fleshed fish*
3 sl Uncooked bacon or some olive
-oil**
1 md Onion, diced. Consider
-Sweet Vidalia but can use
-regular
1/2 c Diced onion greens (or
-more)
2 Red or white potatoes, cubed
-(unpeeled unless using
-russet potatoes)
1 1/2 c Water
1 1/2 ts Salt,
1/4 ts Black or white pepper
13 oz Can evaporated milk.

Snapper, Lingcod, Sea Bass good choices (mix several types for best
results but avoid using much Cod as it will fall apart) Chop
bitesized.

(More bacon is not going to make it better and will make it too
greasy) Healthy Heart tip: Use Sizzelean Chop small.

Well! Yet another crockpot favorite surfaces. This one holds well
for 2 days but no longer. Suggest removing and freezing 1/2 at the
one day point to re-warm in the microwave later.

Saute onion in bacon until translucent, then add all but the milk to
the crockpot and cook 2.5 hours on high, or 8 hours on low. Add the
milk, and cook one more hour. Ready to serve!

Nutritional information: Relatively low fat for this type of dish,
lowish in sodium depending on type of fish used. Sugar free so
suitable for diabetics/hypoglycemics.

Makes about 12 servings. Serving suggestion: with a green leafy
salad, a mild dressing of olive oil and parmesean cheese, and hot
toasted crusty bread with a sliver of velveeta cheese toasted with
the bread and spread on top. xxcarol

Tastes like Tide would I imagine. I use powdered only for baking.
Works in bread recipes well enough.

I vaguely remember hearing about this product. Not sure what it was.

An aside: I've been having computer problems lately. The time and date
won't set correctly. Sometimes it thinks it's yesterday, sometimes
military time, sometimes AM when it's PM and vice versa. It's irritating.

Yes, I know. I was just offering my opinion on them for drinking.

Commerical places probably do that to save time and money.
Home made can be made easily too. I've done it. It just
takes a long time.

Whole milk heated to simmer and let it reduce by...
I forget now. It's basically reduced half give or take 10%
Crock pot is good for this.

Ok, maybe I'm reading incorrectly but I mentioned nothing about
bourbon, just the evaporated milk. Use it in the pudding portion,
I don't know what you'll use for the sauce.

First time I made it I used whole milk and it was rather bland
even with sugar and vanilla. Next time I made it with a can
of evaporated milk and what a difference! I might add I can
purchase a can of Kroger brand evaporated milk for under a
buck.

I've tried my best to duplicate my mother's bread pudding
which was made out of leftover biscuits. So far, I've
failed each time. Sniff-sniff. I've also made it out of
leftover croissants, now that is a rich pudding!

When I was a kid we drank powdered milk with a can of evaporated milk
added to perk up the flavor. I drank it but I didn't like it but it
didn't put me off of real milk!!

I've got both now but I'm in no hurry to open the can of
evaporated milk over a bowl of ice cream. Sounds worthless and
also redundant to me. I'm willing to bet Sheldon has never
actually done that.

I don't see it as a benefit, but a detraction from really good ice
cream. IMO, plain milk would ruin the flavored cream.

Condensed milk is a popular topping for shave ice over here and in other tropical countries. We call it a "snow cap." The Filipinos use condensed milk in their famous halo-halo. Of course, it's used in Vietnamese coffee and Thai iced tea. Evaporated milk on ice cream sounds goofy. Don't open that can!

The best bread pudding I have ever had was from our University Memorial Union chef,
who used whatever muffins and breads happened to be leftover, in good supply, with raisins added.
It was SO good!

I have also heard that that Jewish holiday egg-rich bread...Challah?...is really good for
bread pudding. I can imagine...... ;-))

It could be. Saturn is God's fidget spinner.
