I am distraught.

Bereft.

Insert word for mournful here.

I got my milk delivery this morning with a notice that it will be my last. No more home delivery of my liquid crack. Now I have to find out if they will keep the storefront open or have sales to grocery stores. Mini-me will not drink any other chocolate milk, and Erin can tell if I use grocery-store milk in her cereal. Had I known, I'd have ordered 65 gallons of eggnog this week.

This can only be Rexer's fault!

I guess it's a good thing they didn't deliver your coffee to your doorstep, or we'd be reading about the Va Beach desperate housewife massacre in the news...... :P :P :P

See what happens when you start out by giving your kids the good stuff?

There was actually a company that still delivered milk? I've switched to organic
milk (not that I drink it, but I will put it on cereal and cook with it.) You might try it. It really isn't
more expensive than the regular stuff and probably way less than what you have been paying!

We have a couple of dairies here that deliver. At least I see the trucks going around and the boxes on peoples' porches. I think it was more prevalent where I used to live, as it was an older section of town and I'd get a flyer in my door every once in a while. I don't think I've gotten any dairy flyers since I moved it on up to the east side, although I get a Schwann's every once in a while.

Been thinking about trying the Soy substitute. Has anyone tried this? If so, what brand? I use very little milk, once in a while I get on the organic pumpkin seed cereal that Sam's sells, usually in the summertime.

Except for cooking, milk usually goes sour in our house and I only buy a half gallon at a time, have thought about only buying the quart size but when I make pan gravy, a quart isn't enough if I have used any for other baking or cooking.

It's hell getting old, keep telling myself to plan my meals better so I don't pour so much money down the drain. The problem is when I go to the store on Wednesday, I may think I want to make a country fried steak dinner that week but never get in the mood for country fired steak that week. Hubby and I have found that the older we get, the less meat we want, one cubed steak will make a country fried steak dinner for the two of us, they don't sell them in packages of one so I have to come home and split them before freezing.

We have the same problem with a lousy loaf of bread, can't eat it all before it's old and yucky so I've stopped buying bread because we also dislike refrigerated bread. Buy english muffins, bagels, hard rolls, etc. We can toast them.

So, does anyone have a shout out on Soy Milk, is it yucky, good, worth buying, does it sour like milk?

Milk going sour is why you want to switch to organic!! The date on the half gallon I
bought 2 weeks ago is January 6,2009! It really does stay good for that long.

I've always bought Organic Milk for the girls because I never wanted them to ingest all of the hormones and antibiotics that comes in regular milk.

Here's listing which rates various Organic Milk Producers. http://cornucopia.org/dairysurvey/index.html

I like soymilk. Buy the flavored kind as by itself it tastes like chalk. Ricemilk is good too.
