What kind of milk do you drink?

Coffee milk is merely milk that you can put coffee syrup into, just like chocolate syrup when you have chocolate milk.

Coffee milk isn't my favorite drink. But I like it better than chocolate milk.

Anyone ever try coffee milk? It's big in Rhode Island, where I'm originally from. But here in Maine, many locals have never had it.
By "coffee milk", do you mean condensed/evaporated milk? It's the milk to put in coffee, if you ask me.
That's what I use in coffee and tea myself - that is, the no-fat variety, anyhow.
Why not, when it's thick and "creamy" in effect, only with none of that (usually construed as) unhealthy fat?

BTW let me put in another plug for that no-fat skim milk called "Super-Skim" - manufactured by the Schneider Valley Farms company*. It's a marvel! Why else would I forgo that otherwise incredible local dairy milk actually sold in half gallon glass bottles? Few have such a fabulous option - to purchase milk from cows you see grazing every day as you pass by a mere mile or two from home!

I don't know how the company manages to get that thick, tasty effect - not to mention the extra high calcium content.
* Uh-oh. Just googled them and it looks like another local firm, so you might as well not make a note of them. Only in Central PA.

2%, but I sure do miss the fresh milk we had when I was a kid.

As for coffee/milk, may I suggest this place?

:wave: Been buying our milk from a local dairy farm for years. They bottle it there on the farm and deliver it to our door in glass bottles every week.

Ooh! The delivery is the clincher. I used to have milk delivered in glass bottles too - early, early in the morning. And I was friends with the milkman - up early myself thanks to babies who put me on a whole different schedule. Not counting Turkey (with home-delivered YOGURT!), I hadn't had such a fabulous "old timey" experience since I was a little girl in Connecticut, NY suburb. Only when I was a kid, the cream still actually rose to the top. Don't even know if it was pasteurized.

That was one great advantage over anything in a major city. Next best thing to having our own cows - and chickens (how is your chicken farming coming?).

I need to select a design for the chicken house and talk with the local high school construction teacher. His building/construction class is planning to build it for me this semester, and they'll make it in panels. I can haul the panels in my truck to the site for assembly and completion.

I even posted pics of my house for IT to give me design ideas. Hubby and daughter want it to look like a Tardis, but I'm not keen on that suggestion. :lol2:

Haven't seen milk in glass bottles (or home delivered) in years.

In the early 60's my parent's milkman would not only deliver the milk but come in through the back door and put it away in the refrigerator while we slept.

Rural MINN and PA are different from L.A. California, Steve! We got it - and delivered, too. And we can still get it if we pick it up at the dairy down the road.

Hey, you're making me feeling grateful for living here. :thumb: So MUCH is lacking...

We have a town whistle that blows at noon and 6pm, too. Kind of freaks out the people from out of town. :lol2:

As a child, coffee milk was bearable to me. But as an adult, I've grown a distaste for coffee milk.

Hum a few bars and we'll see ....

Sorry that's a bad joke. :lol2:

OK, I'll stop chortling and give you the real answer. It's the whistle we have on top of the fire hall downtown. It blows at noon and six pm, as noted in my post above, to let people know what time it is. It tells kids in the summer to get their hind ends home for lunch and dinner/supper. If you're the parent, it tells you when you've been outside long enough, and that it's time to go inside to make dinner/supper.

It tells you that you're in a small town that really likes being a small town. ^_^

I have my own soy milk maker (start with soybeams, squeeze the juice out, filter, boil, etc.). It is good, but actually much easier to just buy it from the store. :silly:

Not really, as I can get the soybeans for free. Of course, since I am worth many, many dollars per hour, it may end up being more expensive when my labour is figured in!!! :)

To me, strawberry milk is about as bad as it gets.

Some people like it though. That's what makes the world go around.
