re: Let's talk milk

I don't drink as much as I once did. When electrical ice boxes came along, it seemed to change the flavor from right out of the milking shed..
I do have a glass of cold milk occasionally now, but only about 10 pm with vaniller cream cookies.

Here are some interesting facts on why organic milk lasts longer than regular milk. I was curious so i googled.

quote:
Organic milk lasts longer because producers use a different process to preserve it. According to the Northeast Organic Dairy Producers Alliance, the milk needs to stay fresh longer because organic products often have to travel farther to reach store shelves since it is not produced throughout the country.
quote:
The process that gives the milk a longer shelf life is called ultrahigh temperature (UHT) processing or treatment, in which milk is heated to 280 degrees Fahrenheit (138 degrees Celsius) for two to four seconds, killing any bacteria in it.
quote:
The different temperatures hint at why UHT-treated milk lasts longer: Pasteurization doesn’t kill all bacteria in the milk, just enough so that you don't get a disease with your milk mustache. UHT, on the other hand, kills everything.
quote:
Retailers typically give pasteurized milk an expiration date of four to six days. Ahead of that, however, was up to six days of processing and shipping, so total shelf life after pasteurization is probably up to two weeks. Milk that undergoes UHT doesn’t need to be refrigerated and can sit on the shelf for up to six months.
quote:
So why isn’t all milk produced using UHT?
One reason is that UHT-treated milk tastes different. UHT sweetens the flavor of milk by burning some of its sugars (caramelization). A lot of Americans find this offensive—just as they are leery of buying nonrefrigerated milk. Europeans, however, don’t seem to mind.
UHT also destroys some of the milk’s vitamin content—not a significant amount—and affects some proteins, making it unusable for cheese.
There are, of course, lots of reasons people buy organic milk. But if it's the long shelf life you're after, I would recommend you buy nonorganic UHT milk and avoid being charged double.

Good info. Reg milk has 17 day exp date, but can still last.longer. it is pastuerized for 26 seconds at 170 or so degrees. Flavored milk like chocolate lower temp

Some may disagree, but nothing cures a hangover for me better than chocolate milk.

This. I used to hate it by itself, but I'll have a small glass every once in a while now.

My almond milk (365 Brand) doesn't expire until July 20, 2014
Don't worry, it will be long gone by then.
It's simple and cheaper to make my own but my laziness wins most of the time.
I haven't had cow milk in over a year and I don't miss it. The thought of it kind of grosses me out now. I like the lightness of the nut milks. Not a big fan of coconut milk, I use it only for cooking. Pecan milk was my favorite that I have made.

I drink a big glass, most nights, with supper (or dinner for the sophisticated folks). For me, it pairs well with a nice home cooked meal. On birthdays, I enjoy it with my cake. On the occasion that I come upon a piece of pie, and there's no coffee handy, I'll have it with my pie. I'll also drink it just because I like it. 
As a youngster, straight from the cow or whole milk. As a young adult, it was whole milk. At some point, as I grew older, I changed to 2%. Now, we drink skim milk.
I ordered milk, not long ago, in a restaurant with breakfast. They gave me whole milk and it was the first time, in years, that I had tasted it. Didn't know what I was drinking at first. It was so thick and rich that I thought they had given me some sort of special breakfast shake.

I don't drink much milk but when I make a big arse fresh home made hamburger....I gotta have a glass of milk with it!
I have no idea where that combo came from in my life but ever since I can remember cooking for myself...it's been that way.

true, but the argument that humans consuming milk is 'unnatural' based on this is off.
A large amount of adult humans are able to process lactose--like babies can. This is due to genetics and is something that came about thousands and thousands of years ago. So it's no like this drinking milk is some kind of modern thing with no historical evidence of happening. I think there were still wooly mammoths around when this genetic mutation came about.

i only drink rice milk. It's pretty terrible by itself, but tastes fine with cereal, grits, or protein shakes.

I'd put money on it. Don't diss something until you try it. Look it up.

I made myself drink it when I was there. It's not bad really. You can get over it not being ice cold. Over cornflakes it's fine and is good with a roll and some salami.
