You probably don't have a large Hispanic population, the hearts are always
in those stores around here, pretty much everything. I like to shop them
occasionally.

There is no Hispanic community to speak of around here and I don't often
see hearts for sale. However, there are a lot of Italians, so grocery
stores tend to carry lamb.

Same with the Mideastern markets around here, but our supermarkets usually
have it year round too. I will say that I got a couple of chops last week
that were so tough I could hardly chew through them. I had even marinated
them for a couple of hours before pan frying, never had that happen before.
I think those haven't been lamb for about 5 years.

Lamb shoulder, 3.97-4.97 just about all the time. Look to the butchers
area for it.

Unlike you, I do not pretend to be vegetarian, nor have I ever. PETA
is a pustulant blight. A clear case of actions speaking louder than
words. 98% kill rate here.

You surely don't drive 40 miles just for milk? Get milk while buying
other food supplies. Refrigerated milk stays fresh for a week.

Cost of processing, and volume of wet milk required.

UHT longlife milk. Still tastes different from fresh, but better than
canned or dried. It's wet milk and a sealed pack keeps for 6 months,
unrefrigerated.

It takes a lot more milk to reduce it to a powder, however it is they
do it. Evaporation, for starters.

I did look at the price of powdered milk once, don't know why because
I loathe the stuff, but it was quite pricey.

People freeze milk, then shake it once it thaws, I've never tried
that, myself.

I tried a teaspoon of it (the powder) in coffee one morning.
Thought it might do like the powdered Coffee Mate. No. It wasn't
good at all. You need to rehydrate it first before using in
coffee.

I buy half gallons mainly for morning coffee and occasional
cooking. First thing I do when I buy a new one is to freeze a few
small containers (6-8oz) just for emergency coffee milk in case
my main bottle starts to go off before I get to the grocery
store. It's fine for that use and probably for cooking too.

I've even added a TBS of vanilla ice cream to coffee for
emergency dairy a few times. lol

Back when I was a widdle wun (the 1960's), powdered milk
was about 1/2 the price of regular.

We'd (or rather my parents) would add it to macaroni and
cheese and it was ok for that.

About a decade ago I priced it at the market and saw, like
you did, that it's more expensive.

I have absolutely no idea why and how this was and is
the case. There's so much gov't price fixing and support
in milk pricing that there's plenty of questions
involved...

It might also be supply and demand. If there's little demand for
powdered milk (from consumers; obviously industrial food operations
use a lot of it), the price would tend to rise.

I have not seen a milk delivery for over 50 years) Yes, I will be having
it)

A bit different though as this will be only twice a week and we will pay
over the phone !!! LOL

I am a bit stunned still) I didn't answer the door. D. did and and said
no thanks! When he came in and told me I was a bit ....Get Him Back !!

When we ran out of milk, my mother would occasionally whip up
some powdered milk. We all hated it so she didn't bother too
often.

I figure do the math and see how much milk it would make when
reconstituted. In the end it's probably quite a bit cheaper
than fresh milk.

You'd think so, and again, that was the case
a, err, well, half century ago.

But no more. The powdered milk, per quart equivalent,
is more expensive nowadays.

(At least in the multiple areas I've checked. Given
the very convulted price fixing, etc., there might
be sections of the country which are different).

You've led some kind of over-sheltered life if your idea of an emergency
is running out of milk ;-)

Powdered milk is always more expensive. I do buy it. Not much. Then again, I
don't use much milk ever. You can also get shelf stable in a box, Dollar
Tree sells it.

I buy Saco Mix 'n Drink powdered milk for "emergency supply"; it is $3.99
for 3, one-quart packs at the supermarket I shop. Given it is non-fat, I
can't see it being used for ice cream; but, for most uses I find it quite
good. It doesn't have the strong caramel back-note that most canned or
powdered milk products do - there's some, but not as strong as in other
products.
