Substitutes...Milk and Eggs

We were talking about milk tonight...for those of you who don't want to drink the powdered milk, you can always purchase shelf-stable milk. It's actual milk and has a shelf life of 2 years. I have friends who don't even buy store milk anymore; they just use this all the time. I don't know what the best brand might be, but you can google shelf stable milk and get many options, and you can also look at the RU Getting Prepared blog. It is run by a woman in Queen Creek; she's not a member, but knows more about food storage than anyone I actually know. Her husband was recently reactivated, and even though she's not a member, she does all the food storage stuff in her ward. On the side she and a friend have this blog site running, with great information about everything.

Now Eggs...great idea from Wendy DeWitt. Instead of egg substitute, why not use unflavored gelatin? 3 tsp = 1 egg, and apparently it's good for you. "Since unflavored gelatin is 85 percent protein and low in calories, it is an excellent choice for dieters and diabetics." from about.com. It has an indefinite shelf life, as long as properly stored. Seriously a great idea, especially if anyone has egg allergies.
