Although, if you tried a reduced fat milk, I have a feeling it would be just fine!Elizabeth Spann Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625595247828274405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-12009639743195296502012-02-21T10:35:47.041-05:002012-02-21T10:35:47.041-05:00I'm kinda new to cooking, so forgie me if this...I'm kinda new to cooking, so forgie me if this is a dumb question,but what is "sweet milk"?<br /><br />I really want to try this recipe, but want to make sure I'm using the right ingredients. =)Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619696139737836685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-60463347360297691742012-01-04T16:10:23.609-05:002012-01-04T16:10:23.609-05:00"mine all date from the 1950s and 60s when a ..."<a rel="nofollow">mine all date from the 1950s and 60s when a stick of butter here and there was nothing to worry over.</a>"<br /><br />It <b>was</b> something to worry over = it's just that nobody <i>did</i>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-28137612231285083782010-01-24T12:17:35.724-05:002010-01-24T12:17:35.724-05:00I cook something similar to this very often, it...I cook something similar to this very often, it's one of the tastiest quick dishes, which leave everyone satisfied :)DEZMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127166104359407763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-53405101228566761322010-01-22T17:11:49.473-05:002010-01-22T17:11:49.473-05:00This sounds fabulous!
