That was probably why they got it, too... since leaving home, I've only
used the dry in baking or other cooking... and haven't at all now for
years... :)

 NB>> I'd only seen the milk in a bag in a box at camp and similar places
 NB>> with a milk "machine".

 RH> They were generally sold for institutional use but the milk man was

 RH> box was affordable.

We went through a lot of milk, too, with 8 kids... Daddy drank a fair
bit himself, although Mommy generally had to force herself to drink some
every day... We still go through a lot of milk, just the two of us
generally drink 2-3 gallons a week...  :)
 
 RH>>> only ones I've seen at Asian buffets, and they would be hard to
 RH>>> keep fresh/hot in the syrup.
 NB>>> No... I've only seen those at Indian buffets, I think...  But
 NB>>> what I'm talking about are the size and shape of biscuits, but
 NB>>> fried with sugar sprinkled on them...  :)
 RH>> I've not seen those at Asian buffets.
 NB>> They're pretty ubiquitous around here, but quality can vary quite a
 NB>> bit from buffet to buffet...  I've seen them in various Asian buffets
 NB>> all around New York State... dunno about other places...  As I was
 NB>> telling Dale, these look like they might have been cut with a biscuit
 NB>> cutter, or the top of a glass... about 2-3 inches round, and 1-2
 NB>> inches high... granulated sugar sprinkled over them when they come
 NB>> out of the frier...

 RH> Next time we hit up an Asian (other than Indian) buffet, I'll have
 RH> to look. 

They generally show up on one of the hot tables, often with appetizers
around... 

 RH> We tried a Chinese buffet in Raleigh a few years ago but both of

 RH> except the Indian place.
 
Apparently others had issues there too, I'd guess... One of the local
ones got shut down by the health department here... unsanitary kitchen
conditions and rats in the place... we never cared much for their food
anyway, so it wasn't any loss to us... They had taken over the space
where our all-time favorite Chinese buffet had been... now there's a
reasonably decent one there, but not as wonderful as the one that had
been there before the bad one...
