I remember hearing the expression, \”How now, brown cow?\” being used as a taunt. Cows, however, are where most of our milk products come from. It doesn\’t matter whether it\’s a brown cow or not.

Sguschonka is something I never heard of until a few weeks ago, when I was reading this web site. Naturally I wondered just what sguschonka is, and went googling for recipes.

It turns out that Sguschonka is sweetened condensed milk that\’s been cooked into caramel. Today I got a can of the milk so I can try it. I think I\’ll do what that web site says and put the milk into a jar, and cook it overnight in the crock pot.

The directions say to let the cooked jars of condensed milk cool. If I didn\’t, would they spray scalding-hot milk into my face; the way a car\’s overheated radiator would spray hot water everywhere if it isn\’t allowed to cool? I\’ll tell you this much: I don\’t want to find out!

This might mean destroying the band of a Mason jar®. I suspect that the jar will seal itself tightly after being cooked, then cooled. No problem; I have some extras. I don\’t do canning, but Mason jars are great for storing all sorts of stuff; and they come in six sizes, from 4 oz to a half-gallon!

Maybe eating Sguschonka before a ride would let me milk out more miles?
