Okay, I've decided to wade in (at the risk of causing another war)

[Capt. Obvious]

I'm now getting milk delivered from a dairy farm. I know, I know, it's really expensive.

I was against the idea at first and argued vehemently against this new course in our life. I argued that it was too expensive, and that we don't drink milk that often, and that we end up dumping unused milk too often as it is.

Well, I lost that debate.. and I'm quite thrilled. The milk is amazing. We tear through those delivered glass bottles faster than they can deliver them.

Now we're even having fresh bacon, butter, and you name it delivered from the farm and it's amazing. My god, their bacon! I may even put it in my coffee.

I hope this thread doesn't tear us apart.

1. Bacon in coffee? No thanks. Cream skimmed from whole raw milk? Yummy! n/t

[Capt. Obvious]

2. Fresh bacon goes with everything

Replace your lettuce in your salad with it = FUCKING AWESOME

[Pharaoh]

24. Agreed..........

Bacon works with everything!

[kelliekat44]

18. With the price of bacon from 5.99-8.99/lb and increasing.....nt.

3. can someone get this in southern california ?

[Tikki]

27. Why would you think people in Southern California can't get these items delivered.

Have you ever been here? We are surrounded by farms and ranches and orchards and fields...and every city and town has a farmer's market.

Heck, a local strawberry farmer advertises on a wal*mart commercial.

4. You son of a bastard!!! n/t

5. The glass bottles are the best, aren't they?

One of our local dairies (Rosa Brothers) uses glass bottles and the taste is amazing. Afaik they don't sell butter in the stores (yet) but they do sell ice cream. I pay through the nose for it but I don't care. I'm big into the Buy Local movement and I try to put my money where my beliefs are. This is a locally-owned, family-owned and run dairy that's been in business for 60+ years.

[JI7]

7. do glass bottles make the taste different ? i prefer cartons

but i can't think of when i tried it in glass.

[Le Taz Hot]

8. Yes.

You don't notice it until you get the milk in the bottles. They stay colder in the bottles and don't absorb the taste of the plastic/paper containers. The first time we tried it we immediately noticed the difference. If you're ever at California's Central Coast or the San Joaquin Valley you can find the Rosa Brothers brand of milk. I'm not sure where the OP is getting his/hers.

12. Munroe Dairy just across the border

We've also bought ice cream there too.

[Gormy Cuss]

25. Across the border?

American dairy products aren't good enough for you?

[notadmblnd]

26. I won't buy from our local farm cause they're Republicans

How Republican are they? They're so Republican that they hosted a campaign event for Rmoney when he was running.

[Le Taz Hot]

28. We have another local dairy,

MUCH larger and been in business for as long as I can remember and they've had Republican fundraisers. I won't buy their milk. The guys I deal with are a family farm and, as far as I know, are not publically politically active.

6. Great.

Another white milk privilege thread.

[scarletwoman]

10. DUzy!

[Capt. Obvious]

11. We get the chocolate milk too

Also delicious.

[Dr. Strange]

14. Oh sure.

Some of your best milk is chocolate, no doubt.

You're fooling no one, you milk Freeper!

[Capt. Obvious]

15. The chocolate milk is a credit to its cows' teets

I mean, how do they flavor it so well inside their mammary glands?

[Dr. Strange]

17. Dude! Teets and mammary glands?

Next you'll be posting the swimsuit edition of Milk Monthly.

[HubertHeaver]

20. and here it is......

Those udders need support.

[Dr. Strange]

21. Why?

Why would you think that I need to see that? I fear greatly what my dreams will bring tonight.

[HubertHeaver]

23. Careful with those dreams...

though that is a good-looking cow.

[notadmblnd]

29. There's no such thing as white milk privilege

Strawberry and chocolate get their own shelves in the store. Hell, white milk has to share a shelf with that 2% and skim crap.

[JHB]

9. Accusation of paid-disruptorhood, insinuation that any who agree with you are also

Wail of bewilderment that this is tolerated on a Democratic semi-anonymous message board.

[Capt. Obvious]

13. Let me guess

long time lurker?

[JHB]

19. If averaging over 4 posts a day for over a dozen years counts as lurking...

...then I suppose so.

As long as yoiu aren't breast-feeding fried chicken at the Olive Garden, I'm ok with it.

[LiberalEsto]

16. That brings back childhood memories

Back in the late 1950s and early 1960s, everyone in our neighborhood had an insulated metal milk box on the front steps. On hot summer days, the milkman left a big chunk of ice to keep the milk cool until it could be brought indoors.

[niyad]

22. dumping unused milk?????? I realize you are no longer having that problem, but, should you find

yourself in that situation again, herewith a couple of suggestions: freeze the milk in ice cube trays, then place in freezer bag when solid. add a drop of vanilla if putting in your coffee, etc. keep the soured milk, and use it for baking, for pancakes, for mashed potatoes. really let it go sour for sour cream, or cottage cheese. throwing milk away--shudder!!

we have a local dairy here, the milk is incredible, and the products actually less expensive than the supermarkets. milk in glass bottles from local farms. . yummm.

[lumberjack_jeff]

30. I recently found a nearby cattle farm.

It was surprisingly affordable and most excellent. I'm never going back to feedlot beef.
