Bring some flour to combine with the butter you're bringing and you can make a luxurious sauce out of just about anything...

Gotta love roux.

Ps: your coworker was being a jerk.

TC, thanks for the compliments. And I get that a lot, (questions on my moniker, that is)! I have a dry, self deprecating sense of humor.
Kevin (and many other site members), and I are as close friends as the distance between us allows. Many of the members sometime inject inter-personal side conversations into topics.


Co-workers are things of the past, retired now after 44 years at the same employer.


I love Alfredo sauce as much as the kids! Like scratch style cooking, home, and at camp. Use powdered milk as a staple camp cooking ingredient, just cannot stand it as a drink! Yuuccckkkk!!!!!


SERIOUSLY, is a term I frequently avoid-----------------

Reminded me of a mistake I made at Road America, grabbed a bag of Bisquick® Complete Mix Cheese Garlic Biscuits mistaking it for Buttermilk and made some very interesting flavored pancakes. Not as bad as they sound!

The only time I have ever had toooooo much garlic I was at the airport in Atlanta and I got a pretzel and wanted some garlic on it. They dipped the pretzel in butter followed by dunking it in garlic powder. I had to sit by a work partner all the way back to the cities. Once we got in the flight to Mason City, IA was cancelled because of fog. We had to get a rental car and drive the two hours south. He finally told me to just keep my mouth shut and drive. Guess it was a little much.

I regularly use a NOLS pantry method for cooking supplies and the dairy selection includes powdered milk (and or buttermilk), sour cream, cheese. I can make a variety of dairy based sauces including a tasty Alfredo. Also have had good results with Knorr packaged mixes and powdered milk.

Anybody have any luck making Alfredo Sauce at camp using powdered milk + clarified butter + grated parmesan ? I like the idea of making it from scratch (more or less) using shelf-stable ingredients.

Kids love alfredo; and I would like to treat my scouts this summer.

I use NIDO whole milk to make Alfredo or other white sauces.


It works alright not gourmet but people seem to like it.
