This is probably a silly question but

I have a recipe that calls for

1 ds Milk
1 c gravy.

What does the 'ds' & 'c' mean?

I should add I dont cook at all really so thats the reason for the silly question.

Re: This is probably a silly question but

Re: This is probably a silly question but

oh oh oh ... ds=dash

As in a dash of milk?

See this recipe below? For Nutmeg & garlic powder, it says DS of nutmeg and ds of garlic powder

Glazed Chicken In Crockpot --Low-Fat
6 oz Orange juice, frozen concent..............3 Chicken breasts; split
1/2 ts Marjoram........................................1 ds Ground nutmeg
1 ds Garlic powder....................................1/4 c Water
2 tb Cornstarch

Mix thawed orange juice concentrate (not regular orange juice) in bowl with marjoram, garlic powder and nutmeg. Split the breasts and dip each piece into the orange juice to coat completely. Place in crockpot. Pour the remaining orange juice mixture over the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours, or cook on high for 4 hours if you wish. When chicken is done, remove to serving platter. Pour the sauce that remains in crockpot into a saucepan. Mix the cornstarch and water and stir into the juice in pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and bubbly. Serve the sauce over the chicken. Serves 6.

Re: This is probably a silly question but

doesn't dash refer to a dry ingredient?
Like a dash of salt?
Never heard of a dash of milk...

I will ask DH when he comes home..he may know.

Well, can't you have a dash of tabasco sauce added to a recipe? That's a liquid. I really don't know though ...
