We were recently given a bunch of canned foods by my mother in law. It is great having a large selection of canned foods and I have started expanding the variety in my cooking. Included in the collection of cans is several cans of evaporated milk. It got me to thinking about the utility of this form of milk packaging.

Evaporated milk is milk with 60% of the water removed. This means you can pick up a can of evaporated milk and add water to reach one quart. It may not taste as great as fresh milk, but it does provide the nutrients the kids need in milk.

This was always a big issue when leaving in more isolated places. We couldn’t get fresh milk and UHT milk was very expensive. Fortunately, evaporated milk was always available in a can so we would get our milk that way. We could keep the re-hydrated milk in the refrigerator for a few days and the kids could get the milk they wanted. We overcame some of the off-taste by adding chocolate syrup to the milk so it would be a chocolate drink.

Teaching can be such a joy for me and my husband. I enjoy teaching all levels of students, but sometimes the classes can really tire me out. It seems like some days I have plenty of energy and other day I get tired easily. I found three things I can to keep from getting too tired when I am teaching and I decided to share them here so others can reject tiredness.

1) Drink plenty of fluids. When you are moving around in the classroom and doing a lot of speaking, you get dehydrated easily so drinking water before a lesson is a good way to head it off before it happens.

2) Get plenty of sleep and if you don’t, think about a cat nap. A nap in the afternoon if you can manage getting out of the school for an hour or two could do wonders.

3) Eat good foods. If you put junk in your body, your body will be like junk that’s why I suggest you eat good food always.
