OK, I know this is silly, but waste not, want not, so here we go:

We keep heavy cream in the 'frig - my wife likes to use it in sauces,
soups, etc., in small quantities.

Our next door neighbors are taking a trip and this morning, they brought
us an unopened container of orange juice (no problem there) and another
of skim milk.

My oldest is going to be home from college for a week and he's a whole
milk drinker. I'd like to mix heavy cream and skim milk, in the right
proportions, which I hope someone here can tell me, to make the
equivalent of the whole milk I normally buy.

Shaking it won't be a problem - we buy unhomogenized dairy from time to
time and they're used to that particular weirdness of mine.

Thanks in advance, and apologies if I don't respond because I might not
have newsgroup access for a day or so myself.
