Noah Project - Month 4 Challenge - Milk

Read 2 Nephi 9:50 then accurately inventory and assess current dry milk storage. Determine if existing powdered milk is stored correctly and is still usable; bulk milk dry packed into smaller units has an approximate shelf life of 2 years. Reconstitute and sample before discarding powdered milk. However, if the powdered milk is obviously brown, rock-hard or strong smelling (caramelized) feed it to pets that can tolerate milk, or compost, or discard! Commercially canned powdered milk such as Maple Island and Provident Pantry have a much longer shelf life, however repacking bulk dry milk from the storehouse is cheaper and convenient! Total basic dry milk storage recommended per year for males/females 18 years or older is 16 pounds. Having powdered milk stored is like money in the bank; some for everyday and some for emergencies! The more powdered milk you reconstitute or use in baking the more money, time and energy you will save! No more last minute trips to get a gallon of milk thus saving time, money, and gasoline! (Do we ever manage to come home with just the milk!)
