or smaller jugs - we use Kilner bottles and change them as they emptyThe juice and milk are served in old fashioned milk jugs in a wine cooler bucket with plastic ice and water. Slightly embarrassed, but I never thought to save the milk for cooking. Why I love this place!I don't believe we can save milk. It's been in ice, but out for two hours. Juice - if it looks untouched we may save it, but most days, it is a couple glasses left.Why are you tossing milk and juice?It is unpredictable, but we often have leftovers. I take the leftover quiches to work with me for my breakfast. DS likes to add leftover bacon to his sandwiches and DH will eat the leftover pancakes. The cats like the leftover sausage. I bring leftover coffee cake to work and it doesn't last 10 minutes n the community kitchen.We always include pancakes one morning in a 3-night stay if possible. And the pancake recipe is the most requested recipe we make. Maybe it's because many B+B's feature a big heap of flapjacks, dripping with butter and syrup and a side of bacon in their advertising?I checked to see if they would be here tomorrow and promised them pancakes tomorrow. They were thrilled.Guest come in for breakfast. Survey the room which includes cheese omelets, salsa, French toast, three kinds of syrup, bacon, sausage, yogurt, melon, strawberries, oatmeal, cold cereal, raisin bread, coffee cake, juices and milk. They say, do you have pancakes?
Ummmmm, as the store owner told the terminator, "just what you see, Pal.".

Beachie, do you have a lot of waste from your buffet breakfasts? We started putting homemade granola and homemade yogurt on the sideboard last year and have found that a few really love it but the rest don't even give it a try. Fortunately we can also use the yogurt in other recipes so it does not go to waste. And the granola holds for a long time in a sealed container and can be used as toppings as well. But how about the omlets and FT?

We used to make yogurt parfaits and either eat the leftovers or toss them. Now we only use sealed one serving cups. We put them out in an ice bath and reuse any that don't get taken. The granola is in a vacuum sealed container.
We toss away a lot of milk and juice. It's a shame, but it's prepaid for, so we haven't lost anything.
We have never had leftovers of the sweet break pudding I just started to make. A keeper!

Do you reuse?
.Is the juice in pitchers or glasses? In pitchers, with an ice insert, just reuse. If in glasses then toss. Milk on ice? Reuse. Reuse for cooking if nothing else.TheBeachHouse said:I don't believe we can save milk. It's been in ice, but out for two hours.
