Had my first lockdown food crisis Friday!

SOMEONE bought fat-free milk!

Can't stand the stuff, it's water with too little milk flavoring added and way too thin. I only drink whole milk, I can handle 2%, but the fat-free stuff is worthless IMO.

In Russet's defense, our preferred brand was out of stock, and she thought she was buying whole milk.

So I'm mixing it with whole milk, 2:1, and it's working acceptably. It'll take a week or so to finish off the carton, but I'm not going to waste it.

LOL. I don’t mind heels, but I’m not sure I can handle pseudo-butter. I won’t allow that stuff in the house!

Good bread has good heels that I will eat. A lot of breads cut the heels too thin so they just aren’t that palatable.

I grew up with Blue Bonnet margarine. It was about 15¢ a box at the time at the store we shopped at. As soon as I was on my own I began buying Land O’Lakes butter :o)

I grew up with margarine, too. On my own, I graduated to LOL margarine, or sometimes Imperial.

Decades later, I'm on to the butter.

People keep forgetting that the reason to not eat the first heel is to keep the loaf end from drying out. (Once you're old enough to eat crusts, anyway.)
