Evaporated milk versatile substitute

However, Robert Webber and Randy Kersten, director of operations for Glazier’s Food Marketplace, 8525 W. Warm Springs Road, point out that evaporated milk is a very similar substitute.

For Terry Gallagher, who’s looking for Amaroso’s rolls, Joe Miller “from Philly” said they can be found at Glazier’s, where Kersten said they’re fully baked and frozen. …
