Okay, so I think I just figured out what is _up_ with milk in this house.
1. We buy gallons of milk (skim for me, whole for Morgan and recipes). Morgan and I like to drink milk straight, and several of our favorite dishes call for it.
2. Milk is not consumed in the quantities expected, and goes bad in the fridge. I discover this the hard way. Yick
3. Next grocery run, we buy half-gallons so as not to be wasteful this time.
4. I finally get to drink the milk I was craving when I discovered the last batch was bad, rediscover my love for it, and blow through it at a rate of 2-3 glasses a day. You know, so as not to be wasteful. It lasts less than a week.
5. Next grocery run, we buy full gallons so as not to run out again so quickly. Besides, Morgan and I like to drink it straight, and several of our favorite dishes call for it. I try to hold myself back and make it last.
6. Milk is not consumed in the quantities expected, and goes bad in the fridge....
If only they made a 3/4 gallon, we'd be set. ;)
