Did you know that it takes one month for organic milk to expire?
That\’s right!
Technically, according the label on the package, \”use within 7 days of opening\”, it shouldn\’t last more than a week. Maybe this is one reason I have been feeling quesy lately.
I have been buying organic milk ever since I realized that I could keep an entire carton of milk from spoiling for weeks. It\’s not because I believe that cows should be treated better (they should be, but still I don\’t buy organic fruit) or because I am afraid of getting pesticides inside me. It\’s all because for a few extra bucks, I can keep a carton in the fridge longer.
And also, nobody else I know drinks fat-free milk. I was raised on fat-free milk and anything else is just weird.
And the reason why I get half-gallon rather than smaller pints? Because I\’ll never know when I need it. Primarily, I use milk only as a palate cleanser, an ingredient for cornbread, and smoothies.
A month huh? This is news to me.
I think your logic makee perfect sense. I get that feeling everytime I visit your site. Oh Jenn is so wise. :)
I haven\’t been a football game yet. I prefer to hear the scores once they are over. :-P
