Milk?......

[Adsos Letter]

:shrug:

[fizzgig]

1. straight from the jug

i'm the only one who drinks it, so there's no one to care :D

[Danmel]

18. Ah....Milk from Jugs!

When my daughter was an infant, my little cousin, who was about 9 and lived in Maryland was visiting and was playing with Melanie and asking me about her. I was nursing her but I hadn't fed her in his presence. So he asked me does Melanie eat cereal yet? And I said no, not yet Davide. And he asked "Does she drink milk from jugs?" My husband just completely cracked up. I of course said no, David, I am nursing her! It was pretty funny.

[Breeze54]

2. I just can't bring myself to drink it right out of

the carton. I have to look at it, in case it's gone bad.

[Maine-ah]

3. in our house?

aka.....




boobie juice.

[Adsos Letter]

32. Can I credit that as a "direct from the container" answer?...

...the only remaining issue would be "eyes peeled for witnesses" or "damn the witnesses".

:D :hi:

[Adsos Letter]

4. AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH...I HAVE TO LEAVE!!!

My apologies to everyone! I know it is bad form to OP and then abandon it but my wife is insisting we leave a couple of hours early for an engagement 'cause she has a couple errands to run.

I will get back to you guys this evening.

Sorry...

:blush:

[Rosemary2205]

5. who buys milk in CARTONS?

We go through 2 gallons a week here. I buy it in gallon jugs.

Have caught the husband with the jug to his lips though. :)

[Breeze54]

7. Carton, jug. "Container"! lol

I buy gallon jugs too, 1% usually but I still have to see it in a glass. ;)

[Adsos Letter]

33. We often buy the 2-gallon jugs...

...but on occasion we spring for the 1/2 gallon waxy cartons. Do you chastise your hubby for his milk quaffing habits?... :D

[Chan790]

6. Milk...

fresh (less than 24 hours old) from the organically-pure, unabused cow or goat. Broad daylight, damn the damned witnesses.

Anybody have any idea how I relocate a goat to the Bronx and keep it happy?

[Adsos Letter]

34. No as to the goat question...

...but next time you choose to "enjoy some fresh milk" please take a friend along with a camera and post in the photography group.

:rofl: :hi:

[Chan790]

52. I should have been more specific.

Steps:

-Hand milk goat into pail.
-Decant into bottles.
-Refrigerate milk.
-Drink within 24 hours...preferably with a lovely tart or pastry or cookie or pie.

Anything else is asking to be stepped upon.

[Adsos Letter]

54. No, you were fine...

...I shouldn't have drank that litre of Spaten Pils this evening... :D

When we were in Romania the local ladies taught my wife how to pasteurize fresh milk on the stovetop...interesting ways of doing things.

Hope I didn't offend...

:hi:

[chknltl]

69. Speaking o lovely tarts....

It'd be my hopes I could get her to drink somethin a little stronger than milk... a slightly sweet, slightly fruity Chardonnay perhaps. :blush:

[Chan790]

70. Self-deleted

Dupe!

[Chan790]

71. I have a fantastic bottle of Riesling...

and no tart to go with it. :sulk: (I need a "sulk" emoticon)

[Adsos Letter]

84. We had champaigne at a wedding reception this evening...

...it went straight to her head. :D

[Left Is Write]

8. Even if you are the only milk drinker in your household, don't drink out of the carton!

It's a good way to introduce bacteria to the remaining milk.

Always use a cup or glass.

[Chan790]

10. ohhhhhh.

Next thing I know, you'll be telling me that making my own cheese is dangerous and bacteria-laden too.

[Left Is Write]

11. I guess that depends on your method.

Are you just leaving the milk out on the counter for weeks at a time? :P

[Adsos Letter]

35. Good and timely advice Left Is Write...

...makes me want to reconsider ever drinking milk again, however. :D :hi:

[texas1928]

9. I bought the stuff, I will drink it how I like.

If it is from the carton, so be it.

[Adsos Letter]

36. A true "don't tread on me" response...

...for the patriot in all of us... :patriot: :D :hi:

[bigwillq]

12. Eww

I hate milk. :puke:

[Adsos Letter]

37. Even ice cold milk...with German chocolate cake?

:D :hi:

[EstimatedProphet]

13. Straight from the cow

No pasteurization, no homogenization - REAL milk

[mzteris]

15. do you at least use a cup?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[EstimatedProphet]

Hell no! The cow likes it better that way!

[achtung_circus]

16. Do you mean like this?

[EstimatedProphet]

20. OK, that's gross.

[achtung_circus]

30. Gross? She's a happy cow, happy cows give happy milk. nt

[Adsos Letter]

39. OK...

...now I KNOW I'm gonna' need some extra time with the therapist... :D :hi:

[Deja Q]

23. Wow. So much for only one nipple per boob...

[Adsos Letter]

38. Interesting mental picture there...

...I think I'm gonna' need some more sessions with my therapist. :D :hi:

[EstimatedProphet]

48. We belong to a "cow share"

Local dairy farmer sells it to members direct, untreated. No pasteurization or homogenization. Organic and no growth hormones.

[Adsos Letter]

51. That is actually pretty cool...

...when we were in Romania the local ladies taught my wife how to pasteurize milk on the stove. Ya' gotta' watch it constantly or ya' end up with a big mess...

:D

[MrSlayer]

14. I wish I had some goddamn Milk!

My cheerios just aint the same!
Wish I had some goddamn Milk!
Too bad the milkman never came!

[HuskerDU]

17. We'll just have wheat thins and beer

if we get sick the toilet is near.

I want some milk- my coffee grows cold
I want some milk- I should have been told!

SOD rules too Mr Slayer! (and we SHOULD'VE left the damn Middle East alone!)

[MrSlayer]

21. Who would have thought S.O.D. of all people could see into the future?

Fuck the Middle East.
Speak English or Die.
Hell, they were even on to global warming back then with the song "No Turning Back".

Weird.

[HuskerDU]

26. That's still gotta be one of the funniest records of all time.

What the fuck is that fucking noise?!?!

Might have to check the lyrics again for tomorrow's headlines!

[MrSlayer]

74. Absolutely.

One of the funniest and most important records of it's time.

[Adsos Letter]

40. My son-in-law eats his cereal with water...

...by choice, no less. :shrug: :D :hi:

[MrSlayer]

72. Ewww.

Sounds foul to me. But if it makes him feel good, go for it.

[Adsos Letter]

85. Sounds foul to me, too...

...but he is in way better shape than I. :D

[Deja Q]

19. Straight from the udder. How fantastic is that?

Udderly fantastic!

:hide:

[Adsos Letter]

41. ...(sigh)...

...now I'm going to have to start with the "interrupting cow" jokes again...

:rofl: :hi:

[LeftyMom]

22. I squeeze the teats of the little soybeans right into my mouth, the old fashioned way.

:P

[Critters2]

25. I'm more modern and techie

I use a soymilking parlor. But those little beans hate being herded into the stalls after a nice day in the fields.

[LeftyMom]

27. It's really sad how the have to keep impregnating the soybeans.

:(

[Critters2]

28. Nah, they're just beans. They don't know any better.

We're not even sure they have emotions.

[Adsos Letter]

42. Interesting!!!

...leave it to someone from Sacramento :rofl: ...you must have very good eyesight and be quite dextrous with the fingers...

:hi: :D

[LeftyMom]

75. Nothing else to do here but think odd thoughts

and turn those odd thoughts into stupid laws if so employed, which thankfully for us all I am not. :D

[Adsos Letter]

86. Oh, I don't know...

...I would probably trust your laws more than some of the current crop now being passed. How has Summer been over your way...its been hot as blazes in the Suisun area. :D

[VenusRising]

24. Disgusting!

:puke:

[Adsos Letter]

44. Which?...

Milk as a product, or the manner of it's consumption?

If you like soy milk...have you tried "8th Continent" ?

:D :hi:

[VenusRising]

61. I don't drink milk of any kind.

I don't like the flavor. I don't like the consistency.

It's of the debil.
:evilfrown:

[Adsos Letter]

63. ....

OK...gotta' accept personal taste :thumbsup: Personally, I find oatmeal and raisins to be two of the foodstuffs "of the debil"...either combined, or separately...

:D

[VindiPlum]

29. I drink Soy Milk

Have you noticed the price of milk lately? I gasped at the $4.17 tag on whole milk last night...Skim milk is $3.89 a gallon! I am converting to dry milk/skim milk mixture for the husband's cereal bowl in the morning and hope he doesn't notice.

Why? Why? Milk is important to healthy diet!

[Adsos Letter]

43. Yeah, milk has gotten totally expensive...

...but when the warm Tollhouse cookies (or the snickerdoodles) come out of the oven...gotta' have that milk.

I will admit the "8th Continent" soy milk is quite yummy...especially the vanilla flavor...yum!!!

:D :hi:

[MrScorpio]

79. I do Silk

8th C is a little too sweet for me

[Adsos Letter]

83. I like the 8th C...

...on a granola-type cereal; I enjoy the added sweetness.

:D :hi:

[dembotoz]

31. 2 gallons every day by the other 3 here

not me though
milk is not my friend
hasn't been for years,cramping,gas, all of it.

they just keep me around to go to the store.

[Adsos Letter]

46. I, too, am a lover of ice-cold milk...

...getting pricey though, I have to admit. Have you tried "8th Continent" soy milk. It's pretty yummy.

:D :hi:

Oh...and welcome to DU!

[MissMarple]

88. Ice cold milk and fig newtons...yum....

All the time we were growing up.

[Adsos Letter]

90. yes...very good...love fig newtons. Also...

...ice cold milk and slightly warm fruit cobbler...yum!

:woohoo:

[cynatnite]

45. Glass or cup only in my house...

ask husband...he's got the scars to prove it. :rofl:

[Adsos Letter]

49. Is it me or is it....

...just us guys who have a tendency to "skip the middleman" cup or glass-wise.

:D :hi:

[cynatnite]

92. Yep, men love shortcuts...

don't read the directions and all that. Don't even ask me about when he tried put together a metal shed. Heh. :P

[Kali]

47. In an ice-cold glass

with homemade baked goods - cookies, brownies or fruit pie. :9

[Adsos Letter]

50. Ah yessss...

Ice cold...with homemade raspberry cobbler...

:woohoo:

:D :hi:

[Kali]

55. OMG

that sounds GOOD!

[Adsos Letter]

57. It IS good...

...for my birthday last week my wife made me a combo boysenberry/raspberry cobbler.

Whipped cream on top and milk

It barely lasted the day...

:woohoo:

[MysticalChicken]

53. I don't like milk

unless it is preceded by the word "chocolate" and followed by the word "shake."

[Adsos Letter]

58. Ahhh...a chocolate shake...

...where the ice cream is still sort of solid in the mix, if you know what I mean. The kind you have to eat with a spoon.

This little old drugstore soda fountain in Grant's Pass, Oregon, has the Best.Shakes.Ever.




:D

[u4ic]

56. Goat milk in my cereal

and almond milk in a fruit shake. (the goat milk is full fat and wouldn't want to drink it in my shake every day)


On its own...never. :scared:

[Adsos Letter]

59. Curious question...

...you don't like the flavor, or you associate it with an unpleasant experience in the past, or you view it as unhealthy?

Or...ya' just don't like it...

My wife tells me "Milk...is for baby cows..."

:D :hi:

[u4ic]

60. Hmm...interesting question!

I actually like the taste of the goat milk...but I think milk's a bit heavy for me as a regular beverage. That's why I use the almond milk for the fruit shake that I have every day; it's fairly light.

Cost is also another reason; either of them don't come cheap! $5.49 for 2L of organic goat milk, and almond milk is close to $3 for a litre.

:hi:

[Adsos Letter]

62. Yeah, the stuff's gotten pricey...

...my wife introduced me to "Continent 8" vanilla soymilk and it's yummy on cereal. Otherwise, I'm pretty much a milk guy...

haven't tried almond milk, though. Sounds good...me and goat milk products don't get along though.

:hi:

[u4ic]

64. They've just introduced hempseed milk

It was even on sale. I think I'll give it a try - but once again, it's very pricey. The sale price was around $3.5 for 1 litre, a dollar off the regular price)

I've never seen the Continent 8 - I used to like Silk until they doubled the sugar content. Now I think it tastes gross.

:hi:

[Adsos Letter]

66. If you liked the old Silk you would probably liike Continent 8...

...I don't know how readily available it is...we can only find it at Raley's around here.

:D

[u4ic]

67. Dang! I checked out the website

and it said it's not available in Canada at this time.

Yet they had a box in the search that said "postal code". :crazy:

I'll still be on the lookout for it - perhaps they're looking to expand soon. Thanks for the recommendation! :hi:

[Silver Swan]

65. It's been over fifty years since I drank milk

I always hated it.

When I got old enough to refuse to drink it, I stopped.

I think my hatred developed because I grew up on a farm, and our milk was from our own cows and was un-homogenized, so little cream flecks floated on top. Ick!!

[Adsos Letter]

77. Hmmm...

...yes...I can see where presentation would be an issue...

:D :hi:

[GRLMGC]

68. Don't like it plain

I like it when it's flavored with chocolate, I like it with cereal, and I LOVE dairy products. However, I just can't stomach it plain

[Adsos Letter]

78. Have you tried it ice-cold...

...with a nice boysenberry/raspberry cobbler?

:D :hi:

[fishwax]

73. the thought of drinking milk straight from the carton or jug really creeps me out

a glass bottle, perhaps, but it's been years since I've had my hands on one of those. Cup or glass (or bowl, with cereal) only for me ...

[Adsos Letter]

80. Your attitude...

...appears to be the dominant one, given polling thus far...

:D :hi:

[MissMarple]

76. From the carton?!!!

Do you want it to dribble down your front and share our your nasty germs?? What is wrong with you?:spank:

[Adsos Letter]

81. But...

...it really lightens the dishwashing load...

:D :hi:

[MissMarple]

82. Hmmm...

Where is my toe tapping smiley when I need it? ;)

[Adsos Letter]

87. Yeah...

...that "dishes" rationale never worked very well with my wife or daughters either. :D :hi:

[MissMarple]

89. You are making me smile out loud.

Good night, sweetheart. :)

[Adsos Letter]

91. G'Night, M'Dear...

...I, too, am toddling off to bed.

Night night,
sleep tight,
don't let the bedbugs
bite, bite, bite...

:D

[Adsos Letter]

93. Kick for the Sunday crowd...

:kick:

[Beausoir]

94. Teeth-shatteringly cold. Brain freeze cold.

[Adsos Letter]

95. Yes, but...

...what is your preferred method of delivery from container to mouth?

:D

[Beausoir]

96. I have been known to imbibe, in the dead of night,

from the carton. But only in my younger, wilder days.

Once, I went to pour some milk for cereal and the carton had a disgusting chocolate mouth ring around it. That was the last time I allowed my brother to stay overnight. I mean...really...how sick do you have to be?

[Adsos Letter]

97. ...yes...

...and the milk takes on a grittier characteristic as it inches its way down the jug... :scared:

:D

[mvd]

98. I only hve milk with my cereal in the morning

I pour it into a bowl.

[Adsos Letter]

99. I will count that as an answer which suggests...

...that you are fastidious regarding your milk "delivery to target" process...

Short, pithy, succinct, as befits a Mod..

:D :hi:
