Nido

At the Hispanic food section at my local Walmart Neighborhood Market I found Nido. In West Africa we grew up with this stuff. We used to buy the big tin cans at the boutiques at the marché. The big tin cans were always put to good use afterwards too. They would serve as storage bins, flower pots, homemade weights which we would fill with cement for lifting...

I particularly remember I got suspended once from boarding school for playing a Nido can (well, it was more for the lyrics, long story). Our "band" didn't have proper drums... Ah, the good ole days.

These days I still buy powdered milk because regular milk always spoils in the fridge. I hardly ever drink milk. The only thing I use it for, really, is to to mix it in the macaroni and cheese and to put cream in the coffee. A couple of spoons of Nido and a splash of water works great, and you never have spoiled milk.
