I drink milk with 5 % fat every morning and evening when I take my pills. The medication works better when taken with milk than with water.

that's like heavy cream or something!

eww

you can buy organic milk and freeze it in ice cube trays - store in plastic bag and put a milk cube in your steaming coffee/tea ... lowers the temp to perfect drink now level

That's nothing short of genius, Mach.

Yeah, but it tastes good.

Uh oh. Let us know when you start barfing at work this afternoon. Even the thought of the slight possibility of drinking even slightly rotten milk makes me a nervous wreck. So, if it were me I wouldn't drink it. I'd throw it out. Funky milk is a

Seriously, I am SO in love with this idea. I always buy the tiny 16 oz. bottles of milk (that often cost as much more more as an entire gallon ) becuase I use it only for my tea and coffee and I can't use it up otherwise before it goes bad. This way, I can keep it longer AND buy in "bulk" so less cost and less waste as well.

So??!! Is your stomach feeling yucky yet from that rotten milk? Please--inquiring minds want to know.

Nope. The milk was fine. Just creepy.

That is weird. I would say it's a misprint, but it seems so off. I'm sure if it smells fine it's OK. You can always tell if milk is rotten by the smell, and certainly the taste. If it's sour you'll know it.

Flash Pasturization

I never put regular milk in my tea. I only use it for cereal, but I've been drinking Mayfield's chocolate milk a lot lately. I mean, everyday for the past week or so. Kinda weird. As for soy milk.....I can only do chocolate.....sometimes vanilla.

I don't see anything to worry about with the flash pasturization.

Now, all of the nasty-ass shit that's in non-organic milk. . . that's another story. STOP DRINKING THAT CRAP.

Try Silk. It's quite good, and for your average American it's actually a better source of calcium than dairy. Most people (probably not you, actually) eat too much phosphorous, which can cause bone mineral loss, so getting calcium from a source that that isn't adding to their phosphorous (which milk does) is a good idea for most people.

Or for gawd's sake, at least get organic and skip the hormones and antibiotics. Bleh.

My Trader Joe's fat free Half & half has a long shelf life, like maybe up to two months.

But remember, that's for unopened things. Once you open something it goes bad much faster.

I can't stand milk anymore, except in my coffee. Soy just doesn't cut it there, though some day it just might. But for cereal I like almond milk
