Re: Milk has gone SPAM
Sam's Club was giving out free samples of square milk, to assure customers the quality was the same. There was quite a crowd gathered around. Perhaps they were curious if it was Made in China milk"By concealing your desires, you may trick people into being cruel about the wrong thing." --Steven Aylett, Fain the Sorcerer

Re: Milk has gone SPAM
Thanks, Kaonohi, for the link and for explaining that to us... I was freaked out by the box milk, and wanted to try, but too afraid it would taste funny. I like the idea of it alot... don't drink it, but to use on cocoa pebbles and mashed potatoes... Will give a try!

Re: Milk has gone SPAM
One downside to square milk jugs:
the need constantly wipe dribble from the side of the container, or place a paper towel under it, in the fridge."By concealing your desires, you may trick people into being cruel about the wrong thing." --Steven Aylett, Fain the Sorcerer

Re: Milk has gone SPAM
eric and i buy 32 ounce boxes of borden's UHT (ultra high temp) skim milk from long's at about $2.50 a box. sometimes it goes on sale for $1.99 and i buy six boxes at one time because it stores so nicely.
since we don't drink milk daily, this is the perfect solution for us. taste-wise, it seems creamier than any other skim milk we've bought in the fridged section of the store, with the exception of skinny cow skim. unfortunately, we can't find skinny cow skim anywhere on oahu anymore, and we didn't see it on our maui holiday the weekend before christmas. we did try some organic milk brands while we were in oregon last year visiting my mom and the slight grassy taste of those milks took a little getting used to, given that we were raised on viva.superbia (pride), avaritia (greed), luxuria (lust), invidia (envy), gula (gluttony), ira (wrath) & acedia (sloth)--the seven deadly sins.

i only ask this because (a) i'm not a picky eater but (2) i like what i think tastes good and is cooked with some skill and (3) if i don't eat when i'm hungry, i turn into a demonic banshee.
given all of that, i wonder how long it would be before i caved and ate natto. ewwwwwwwwwwww.superbia (pride), avaritia (greed), luxuria (lust), invidia (envy), gula (gluttony), ira (wrath) & acedia (sloth)--the seven deadly sins.

I've not tried natto ... yet. But I probably will someday. I am a relatively selective (yeah - "picky" is the better word) eater, but I will usually try anything at least once, as I did a raw oyster. The texture and consistency was part of the issue. Now, cooked up on a hibachi (as you mentioned, "cooked with some skill") - you might get a different reaction outta me.
