Powdered (dry) milk does not taste like the regular milk any more then warming leftover coffee taste like fresh brewed; however, I am getting used to the taste of both. Fortunately, with coffee I can make another carafe fresh coffee when I have drank all the leftover.
It is a little more difficult with the dry milk. I have to mix another pitcher of dry milk today. I can make it taste better by ignoring the directions of the package and mixing it a little stronger. Alternatively, I can follow the directions and pour in a can of condensed milk. Condensed milk tastes more like the milk from the plastic jugs or cardboard containers. Adding chocolate syrup powder also helps the taste, unfortunately I do not have any type of chocolate mix.
Mom does not mind the taste of the powered milk. When it come the milk, the only complaint Mom has is that it is cold. Perhaps I should start warming her milk up in the microwave before I give it to her. I will have to practice warming it in the microwave so that I do not burn the milk.
Eventually I will get used to the taste of the milk. It has taken me longer then I thought, but I just have to be persistent. I will get some chocolate mix next time I go to the store for food and household items. Right now, I am closing this entry so that I can heat up another cup of leftover coffee in the microwave.

I am cooking rice this morning
Istiqlál (Independence), 3 Sultán (Sovereignty), 167 BE – Friday, January 21, 2011 about 10:30 AM Pacific Time
I am fixing rice in the slow cooker this morning. I put about 12 cups of water in the slow cooker, with about a tablespoon of cooking oil. I let the water heat for thirty minutes to an hour and then added the spices. I put in nutmeg, allspice, salt, and cinnamon; so now I am waiting for the water to come to a boil before adding the rice.
I know the rice will taste good when it is finished, but I am not sure what to call the recipe. This is a new cooking experiment, I have plenty of rice in the house and I have to figure out different ways of cooking it every time. Perhaps I will try this with milk because I think this is close to the recipe my grandmother used when she fixed us rice for breakfast.
I mixed a pitcher of milk as well. I used dry milk this morning. We do not have bottles or cartons of milk in the refrigerator, so I mix dry milk with water in a pitcher. After I mix the milk, I put the pitcher in the fridge. The dry milk taste all right, it does not taste exactly like milk from a carton, but it tastes all right.

After a long day, I need to write
The process of transformation isn't easy. Every day I learn something that carries the process forward. One thing I learned today, is that I can't go without breakfast. I have an ulcer and if I don't eat breakfast my ulcer acts up, which isn't a pleasant experience.
Fortunately, I don't have to worry about breakfast for a while. The reason for this is that I have a cupboard full of cereal. I also have canned and powdered milk. That's good because I have to eat breakfast or my ulcer acts up.
I like cereal, I would rather have yogurt to eat with it. I don't have any yogurt so I will have milk on the cereal. If I get tired of cereal and milk then I will eat applesauce and cereal. Actually, that last combination sounds good so perhaps I'll try that in the morning.
I have found that prayer also helps alleviate the ulcer. I'm a worrier so I'm not surprised that I have an ulcer. I'm just going to have to learn to let go. I have to learn to let go and write, because I have found that writing and worrying at the same time is difficult.
There are certain things that I can't do at the same time. I can't write and worry any more then I can pray and worry. Those two activities, praying and writing, alleviate worry. Once the worry is gone then the ulcer doesn't act up as much. I'm still going to have to eat breakfast, but a person should eat breakfast anyway.
