I use canned milk in cooking, as it takes the place of butter and is cheaper; also imparts a flavor the other milk doesn't give.

(Mrs. Roberts' recipes cost a little more than she figured, so we have to leave out her cheese delight, but I'm absolutely sure that it is the best thing that could happen to the people who are to eat all those other deli- cious things she cooks, as we don't want to kill our friends by kindness, but let them stop in time so they "will live to eat another day.")
