Just saw that great tutorial on milk and saw the blurb on Magic Mix. How long will your Magic Mix (white sauce) keep in the fridge?

Lisa, You can also make buttermilk by just adding one tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of regular or powdered milk. This is what I like doing so I don't have to store a separate ingredient. Plus I NEVER have buttermilk on hand so it is WAY convenient!

While in Wal-Mart over the weekend I saw something I have never seen or heard of before…powdered buttermilk. It came in a small can, just like shortening does. I thought that would be a good addition to the food storage closet.

What a great tip. I never knew that baking powder wouldn't last very long, and I definitely didn't know the recipe to make your own. I've got lots of cream of tarter and baking soda on hand so this is great news for me! Thanks for sharing.

Linda, We have seen some stuff about canning butter before but have also heard that there are some safety issues with it so we haven't wanted to recommend it to our readers until we could research it more.

Baking powder will lose its power over a relativly short period of time, but if you want to make your own BP just mix 2 Tablespoons of Cream of Tarter and 1 Tablespoon of Baking Soda. These two items will store indefinately. I wouldn't want to be with out them.

I have a container of canola oil that I bought at Costco a little while ago. It is not past the expiration, but has a darker coloring to it than when I first bought it. How do I know if the oil I have is bad? I'm affraid to use it.
