> noticed there was no milk
I always get the ultra pasteurized anyway. It’s expensive, but it doesn’t go bad nearly as quick. There is stuff with an expiration date in May.
I’m somewhat lactose intolerant so I only use half and half in recipes that call for milk, usually a cup or less in big batches of a recipe.
Evaporated milk in a can works in a pinch. That stuff has a long expiration date as you probably know already. :)
