Cream in milk

Craig Welch said:

I have a dilemma. If I open the bottle of milk first, I spoon out the cream and eat it.

Non-homogenized milk, I presume?

Anyone else solved this problem? Buy milk in twos? Agree to share the cream? Odd and even
cream days?

Buy heavy whipping cream. I like to drink that straight from the carton every once in a while. About
once or twice a year I get a craving for milk, and cream usually solves that. Otherwise I never
touch milk.

She dips her finger in, you eat it. You spoon feed her. Trade off every other day.

Buy homogenised milk. No cream on top.

If the human brain were simple enough that we could understand it, we would be so simple that
we couldn't.

Love your story, but I haven't seen bottles of regular (not homogenized) milk with the cream on top
since childhood. Do you all live in England, or?????

What you are fighting over is unhomogenized milk where the heavy cream has risen to the top, and the
rest is skim milk. Shake the bottle vigorously for 'whole' milk, or buy cream AND skim milk in
separate bottles.

I eat cream every day in any case. The cream we get, whilst not called 'whipping cream', doesn't
pour, it's so thick. It's delightful.

Buy homogenized milk.

Thus meeting neither of our requirements. You're a genius.

No, semi-rural Australia. The milk and the cream come from a local dairy, from Guernsey cows.
Although it's available at a number of stores, we buy it at the dairy ... if there's no-one at the
office, we just take it from the cooler and leave money in the 'honour box'.

Whip it, mix it with berries and spread it where it'll do the most good. ;-D

Well I often have it with strawberries; and at this time, more often with sliced mango ...

Will do. But what should I do with the cream?

Your requirements were how to solve the problem. This *is* a valid answer. The other option is to
divorce your wife and find a new one who doesn't like cream.

A stupid question deserves a stupid answer.

Man, I'd KILL to be able to get un-homogenized milk. My mom would get it that way when I was a kid.
She'd pour off the top milk & save it in a separate jar. When she had enough to do whatever she used
it like "whipping cream" Once in a while it would just barely begin to turn sour. That's when I
liked it best - home made creme fraiche! When we could get "farm" cream we got it directly from the
farmer in quart mayonnaise jars. This stuff was so thick you couldn't tell it from the mayonnaise!
Also it wasn't dead white but truly "cream" colored. Spooned onto fresh sliced peaches with a tiny
bit of brown sugar . . .

Lynn from Fargo missing farm cream, brown eggs and free range chickens!
