For better flow we used to make two holes in the tin opposite to each other so that air could go in and out. The left over would be kept in the fridge only to be discovered empty the next time mom decides to make kheer.....made me nostalgic.RohitShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814534149405410068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712958.post-18117750833111924732008-11-11T17:25:00.000+00:002008-11-11T17:25:00.000+00:00I used to wait for my birthday not cos of anything...I used to wait for my birthday not cos of anything else but the milkmaid can which i was allowed to lick off using my fingers with be careful thrown in between.

And I so remember the painstaking effort to open the tin. We had a special dull knife for piercing the lid...and it was an artform. You had to go around the lid carefully, with even pressure so as to not sink in the knife too deep or not to make too shallow a dent. I got so good at it that I was the official can opener for dusty blue Kraft cheese cans,tuna, Milkmaid and the ocassional Baked Beans. Aah, worthless childhood lessons :)Manasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16343046887249187155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712958.post-63167694737360778432008-11-11T08:34:00.000+00:002008-11-11T08:34:00.000+00:00Loved this post Ammani!
