powdered milk

[Guest guest]

Someone once mentioned if anyone knew what to do with " OLD " or

rancid

Dry/Powdered Milk. (I can't remember who, or what list!) Well,

I

stumbled onto this information and couldn't help but share! Hope

this

helps....

1. Paint your house.

Mix one and a half-cups Carnation Nonfat Dry Milkand one-half cup

water

until it is the consistency of paint. Blend in water-based color

to make

the desired hue. Thin the paint by adding more water, thicken the

paint

by adding more powdered milk. Brush on as you would any other

paint. Let

the first coat dry for at least 24 hours before adding a second

coat.

Let the second dry for 3 days. Early American colonists made

their milk

paint from the milk used to boil berries, resulting in an

attractive

gray color. This paint is extremely durable. To strip milk paint,

apply

ammonia, allow it to dry for

about 4 days, then apply bleach. Make sure you are stripping the

paint

in a

well-ventilated area.

2. Remove makeup.

Mix a teaspoon of Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk with warmwater, apply

with a

cotton ball, wipe clean, and rinse.

3. Thaw frozen fish.

Mix 1 1/3 c. Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk in 3 3/4 c/ water. Place

the

frozen fish in a pan and cover with the milk solution. Milk

eliminates

the frozen taste, returning the fresh-caught flavor.

4. Soothe poison ivy, insect bites, and sunburn.

Mix 10 oz. CarnationNonfat Dry Milk and 25 oz. water in a quart

container. Fill up the container by adding ice cubes and 2 t.

salt.

Apply to infected area with a cloth for 20 minutes, 3-4 times

daily.

5. Take a milk bath.

Add 1/2 c. Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk to warm water for a soothing

bath.

6. Make a slight crack in a dish or plate disappear.

Mix 1 1/3 c. Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk with 3 3/4 c. water. Place

the

dish or plate in a pan, cover with the milk solution, then bring

to a

boil and simmer 45 minutes at

low heat. In most cases, the crack will vanish.

7. Clean plant leaves.

Mix 1 1/3 c. cup Carnation Nonfat DryMilk with 7 3/4 c. water,

and using

a soft cloth, wipe the leaves.

8. Substitute whipped cream.

Whip 1 c. Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk in 1 c. ice water for 5

minutes. Use

immediately.

9. Clean silver.

Mix 5 oz. Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk, 12 oz. water, and 1 T. white

vinegar or lemon juice. Let the silver stand overnight in the

mixture,

then rinse clean and dry thoroughly.
