If it’s rainning and you can’t make S’mores, quarter a two inch slice of
Entenmann’s Cheese Danish (the kind with confectioner’s powdered sugar works
great) and arrange on a paper plate, top with sliced strawberries and spoon
on some melted chocolate. Use a makeshift double boiler of heavy duty foil
over a pot of water to melt chocolate bars. June Griffeth, Dunwoody, GA new

It’s handy to carry a couple of cans of evaporated milk on camping trips
when making pancakes or waffles or any other recipe that calls for milk. Mix
half milk and half water to use as a milk substitute in recipes. Covered
tightly it last longer in the fridge than regular milk. FabulousFoods.com

Try to use disposable cups and plates whenever possible. However, keeping
young children from spilling styrofoam cups is a big challenge. If you put a
styrofoam cup into a heavier cup like a coffee cup and serve their beverage
with a straw it makes drinking much easier for them and clean up easier for
you! No more accidental spills. Remove the paper cup and straw and throw
away! FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
