@raye @anthracite sadly it is the only option available for a carless couple at 10:30 pm in mid-city new orleans. :( we are going by the advice of a kitten rescue site which is saying, basically, it's better than nothing. at this point they basically just need to get enough food to survive the night.
also anthracite knows not a damn thing about cooking and got evaporated milk confused with condensed in her stress :) we have evaporated milk.
