I was getting interested in using non-fat dry milk so that I can reduce the amount of liquid I have to carry back home when I go for groceries and it sounded like a less expensive alternative. But is it really?

At the supermarket I go to, the largest size dry milk, with the cheapest per-pound unit price, is about $15 and it says it makes 20 quarts (5 gallons).
Then I go check out the supermarket’s dairy fridge and find their 1 gallon milk at $2.59, which would be $12.95 for 5 gallons.
Of course if I go for a smaller package of dry milk, then the price differential will be even greater…
I also browsed Amazon a little bit and it doesn’t seem like they have it any cheaper either, especially considering the shipping cost.

I actually prefer the taste of skim milk, so so long as dry milk tastes just like skim milk I will be happy with the taste.

But does dry milk really save you money?
Also considering that water is quite expensive for me, because I live in a dorm…

It’s completely disgusting. We bought it when we lived in Alaska because it was a lot cheaper there due to transportation costs. It’s somewhat ok for cooking but you will not want to drink it plain.

You can try looking for shelf-stable packaged of milk – they’re usually one quart and in a square box. They are typically found on the shelf and not refrigerated and they don’t need to be refrigerated until after you open them.

According to this article, women live in a more sustainable way than men, leave a smaller ecological footprint, and cause less climate change –

Isn’t that a nice change from being referred to as shallow & materialistic golddiggers?

*Please* read or skim the article BEFORE commenting.

What are your opinions?

Do you think gender equality can help the environment?
To those who stress women "produce" less -> that is perception, not reality.

Women produce most of the world’s food. Did you know that?

And women DO WORK – the fact that is is UNPAID does not *negate* the fact that it is still WORK. If one would put a dollar value on women’s unpaid work (clean, cook, transport, gathter wood or water, caregiver, etc) it would run into the TRILLIONS. (see UN for details)

I’m unsure what the full implications of that study are, but isn’t it possible that we live more sustainably because we just enjoy living that way? I’m sure there are some men who do the same thing, just as I’m sure that the Earth cries just as inconsolably when it sees a woman behind the wheel of a humvee as when it sees a man.

As far as gender equality helping the environment, I believe that the same type of person who believes in gender equality is going to want to help the environment.

I’m starting to get back into fitness. I enjoy working out. I sometimes skim through magazines like Self to get exercise tips but I find that most of the time the moves are focused on toning your abs, butt, and legs. Only once did I see an exercise focused on the back but it requires that you do it on this specific piece of gym equipment. I don’t belong to a gym and I don’t have one at home. I want to build muscle in and/ tone my upper back but my main problem area is my lower back. That’s the area I’m interested in the most. Does anyone have any tried and true techniques they can offer/recommend?

Note: I don’t mind lifting weights

The lower back tends to store a larger percentage of body fat than the upper back. So for the most part, people feel they have to "spot tone" their lower back when in actuality and loss of body fat will do wonders for this area. Besides extensions, there is very little you can do to "tone" this area which naturally develops on its own through the course of most weight training regimens. You don’t need fancy equipment or machinery and you don’t even need to be a member of a gym.

You can do most of the following with an inexpensive sets of dumbells or elastic resistance which are both very affordable. Here’s a great list of back exercises:

If you are a beginner, I would highly recommend you receive at least some basic guidance from a professional before attempting any of the above.

Yes but unless combined with other performance machine work and performance parts it will not be noticeable.

I have made a dough with these ingredients:
1 CUP Flour
15 ML baking powder
3 ML Salt
2 ML Cream of Tartar
10 ML sugar
50 ML skim milk powder
100 ML shortening.

I made this dough in class. We are supposed to create something with it. Something good. What should I make with this dough? All links, suggestions, anything will do!!!!

they are baking powder biscuits. you serve them warm with dinner, they go especially well with stews.

best known for the "cake" in strawberry shortcake.

Full s 4% fat
Semi is 2%
Skim is 1% and below

I was just wondering since skim milk tastes watery already, and by adding water to regular milk makes it look like skim milk, so I was just wondering if that’s a way to turn whole milk into skim milk.
If it doesn’t work, is there any other way to turn whole milk into skim milk?

If the milk is homogenized, there is literally no way to make the milk skim, which, by definition, contains no milkfat (aka cream). Homogenized whole milk has been processed in such a way that the cream cannot be separated from the skim milk.

If the milk is non-homogenized, you can let the milk sit in a refrigerator and the cream will rise to the top. Pour off the cream and you end up with skim milk.

Nobody had better say skim milk…Do you also drink flavored coffee such as Hazelnut like me??I put evaporated milk & Spelnda in my coffee.

I use half and half in mine (not sure how much–enough that the coffee is sort of a dark cafe au lait color!). I like flavored coffee occasionally (the kind that has the flavor roasted into the beans–not the flavored creamers. I can’t stand sweet coffee!)

The Chicken dry food one.

Im asking beacause we have 6 dogs to feed & they eat quite a lot so looking for the price too.. 3 that were rescues and 2 that were technically recues at our shelter here but were owner surrendered…
They range from 15lbs- ~50 lbs in weight.. we just started them in that.. As they are going to be making us go broke from all the food we have to buy.
Where I live its about $23 for a 40 lb bag, quite a bit cheaper then what we were paying for before switching.

It’s a decent food. (It’s basically the same thing as Diamond Nature’s, but marketed through CostCo). Much better than a lot of foods on the market. If money was tight and I needed to switch to a cheaper dog food than what I’m currently feeding, I would switch to Kirkland.

lol sorry another question for my physics project ^^;

http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/Phys_p024.shtml?from=Home

that was the project i did i don’t expect u to read it all…but can u skim through it,briefly put its a coin apparatus, using magnets u can have the coin walk up the coat hanger

in my version tho i used washers and a metal wire (not hanger)

i’ve collected my data, but i am having trouble writing a conclusion.

any ideas of what i can say for my conclusion? i was thinking something like, different materials are magnetic, the larger/heavier the coin/washer the smaller the magnetic pull is…but all this sounds a bit like (common sense stuff ya know) i wanna say something using terms like "magnetic field" "alignment" "poles" "interaction between magnetic and ferromagnetic materials" and such.

I’m completely stuck and this project is due in a few days! so please suggest something 10 pts best answer!!
also does anyone know how this is related to physics at all?

cuz apparently all i’m doing right now is seeing which coins/washers are magnetic based on their materials and so far in physics class we have not worked on magnetism?

but i found this project through a site, had the materials, and decided to do it.

is it ok for a physics project?

Did you actually read the introduction on the website? Doesn’t it explain what you’re supposed to find?
