“The milk’s gone bad! I put it back in the refrigerator. You’d better check it before you drink it.”
”Why didn’t you pour it out? I’m not going to drink bad milk!”
”Well, just check it. I could be wrong. It just smelled bad whe I tried to drink it. I thought you might use it for cooking.”
”You can tell as well as I can if milk is bad. I don’t want to cook with it. Just”…..bang. Bud went on out the back door without getting rid of the milk.
The next day he came through with another freshness update. “An apple in the fruit bowl is bad.?”
”Did you throw it out?”
”No, I thought you might cook something with it.”
”I never cook with bad milk and rotten apples. I don’t cook maggots or flies either. Throw it out!”
”I don’t have time. I have stuff to do in the shop.” He rooked the dogs and walked right by the rotten apple and the trash. Does anybody have a recipe that calls for bad milk and a rotten apple? I need to cook something special.

Same conversations in every house I think – of course if it’s a newspaper or magazine with an interesting article you haven’t read yet, it will be the one time he puts something in the recycling bin.

I’d boil the milk, toss in the rotten apple and serve it to him as a pudding. 🙂

For some reason when milk goes bad, you have to get someone else to smell it. Throw it out dont thrust the carton to my nose!

And… you didn’t just throw it out because it’s the principle of the thing. Doggone it, if he spots it for Pete’s sake why not just throw the dadburn thing out? My hubby will throw it out and put the empty carton back in the fridge. All things end up in the sink when one more step would get them in the dishwasher and out of the way. My ex mother in law used to call it M.A.N.

What’s in man DNA that makes us store empty cartons in the fridge. It’s almost as if we expect them to grow food. 🙂

Can you imagine the response if someone tried to make you try it! A person would panic. How can you not want to toss it?

At least he told you and didn’t show complete disinterest. Maybe there is a recipe that uses sour milk. Probably a cat or dog would like it.
