Fun things to do with milk: Drink it. Drink it? Drink it!

[afuna_archive]

We have ten 1L cartons of milk that are best before January 8, 2008 (plus one more of the same, still unopened, in the refrigerator). That gives us a bit more than a carton of milk to consume a day. I need ideas.

I've done the first three. Anyone have any suggestions for what we can do with the rest?

(This is why I shouldn't delete icons. I had one perfect for this post from Kawaii Not -- "I can't tell if I'm milk that's gone bad D: or yoghurt that $something :D" -- but I deleted it a few weeks ago)

Update
Aha! Thanks to the lovely chasethestars, I have the icon I needed. Also, I've begun adding your suggestions to the entry, and I'm bolding the stuff that I've done.

Yay! Thanks so much for the icon! I can't tell the difference between a smoothie and a milkshake though -- smoothie has ice cream, right?

I think I just had milkshake -- papaya+milk, blended until light and frothy. Yum.

[chasethestars.livejournal.com]

milkshake: ice cream + milk, blended
smoothie: fruit + ice + milk or juice, blended

Some places use frozen yogurt (or soft-serve ice cream) in smoothies. I make it with fruit and juice.

KN icons are easy to find. It's finding the corresponding strip that's hard! (I forget now which one I was trying to find the other day though)

[afuna]

Aha, thanks for clarifying. I'd switched the two *fixes entry*

You know, the funny thing about the link you just gave me... I just realized I have that link in multiple places all throughout my userpics page *g*

They're tagged fairly well over at kawaii_not (although I can't say how effective it is, as I've not really gone looking for one in particular yet.)

Pudding! Pudding is tasty.

I also like to make cheese (mozzarella), but that requires rennet and acid.

[azurelunatic]

decent suggestion: ice cream?
shitty_advice suggestion: pour some of it in someone's shoes. They'll get a nice soothing milky foot-soak!

[afuna]

Made simple ice cream! I think I didn't shake it long enough because it was still mostly liquid, but there were ice-cream like lumps...

[azurelunatic]

Hooray!

BATHE IN IT! (Hey, if it was good enough for Cleopatra, it's good enough for you)

Bake? Actually make yougurt? Feed stray cats?

Oh! Oh! Make ICE CREAM? (I have no idea if milk is needed for this. Hahaha)

chocolate milk
pancakes
biscuits
waffles
muffins
cakes
brownies
egg nog
pudding


wait... bathe in it?!

[afuna]

See other comments! I don't think I have enough milk for do all this, so some I probably won't do, but I should be able to do a few... :-)

[connie]

I second make ice cream from it! There was a really simple recipe my little sister brought home from preschool about ten years ago that just involved shaking the ingredients around in a plastic bag, so maybe you could find something similarly simple online? :-)

Also, hot chocolate!

[afuna]

Hmm. I just found this: http://crafts.kaboose.com/ice-cream-in-a-bag.html

I have no idea how it will work.

[iruka11.livejournal.com]

just saw this on tv last christmas eve... but the show said place the bag with the mixture in a salad spinner(?) filled with ice and salt... spin it and after several minutes(probably more than 15...), the milk-cream mixture will become ice cream... looks really good on tv... ^__^ you should try it out.

seems like a good source for some exercise too haha!

[connie]

That looks like the same one, except I think we always just used regular salt, and I could never decide whether it was really necessary. :-)

[afuna]

I think any kind of salt is okay (but it seems a waste to use regular/fine salt or iodized salt because it's been processed more). Sugar should work as well, I think? The key is to lower the freezing point of water so that the ice will melt more quickly. Without the salt, the ice cream making process probably would not work.

I did try it earlier! It seemed to work okay but I guess I didn't shake it hard/long enough because there were lumps, but it was still mostly liquid by the time I got bored and decided to eat it *g*

23. try to put it back into the cow =p

[afuna]

23. try to put it back into the cow =p

If I were drinking milk right now, I would have snorted it up my nose :P

[chasethestars.livejournal.com]

you just came up with another one! :)

[pauamma]

Repeat Galileo's experiment.

[afuna]

O_o

(You mean the one with dropping things?)

[pauamma]

Prozacly!

[afuna]

After you build the tower (remember, 3.97 degrees), should I start with droplets, or do I go all out with entire cartons?

[pauamma]

Entire cartons. Droplets wouldn't let you skew your experimental data to support your intended conclusions. :-)

[afuna]

Wouldn't? Would? :-)

[pauamma]

Good point. :-)

[afuna]

*bows*

;)

[iruka11.livejournal.com]

donate *wink*

[afuna]

Haha. Will we meet up soon enough? :P

[iruka11.livejournal.com]

haha i really meant donate... or if you want, find some hungry kid in the streets and give it... ^^

[afuna]

Oh. Hmmm.

[iruka11.livejournal.com]

kung hindi ka comfortable... i go with making ice cream or cake thing ^___^

[afuna]

Hehehe. Nah I was just thinking how weird it would be to go around giving out milk cartons XD It's a good idea but I do not want to go through an institution kasi it will take too long (by the time it gets to them, expired na) so it will have to be direct.

[iruka11.livejournal.com]

hehe un nga lang...

[hanase.livejournal.com]

- Special Milk!Facial mask
- Milk Shampoo/Conditioner
- Turn it into an Art!Form. Eg. Mix it with paint or crushed crayons. You could be the next Famous!Artist we are looking for.
- Wash your hands/feet with it
- Make a swimming pool out of it
- Dip your oreos in milk (inspired by commercial ad)
- The Milky Way (I see stars!)
- Freight express one or two cartons of milk to me :D

[afuna]

HEEEEE. *adds*

[atomic-clay.livejournal.com]

Haha good luck! :))

[afuna]

Haha! I'm not going to do them all naman :P Not enough milk, for one thing.

[atomic-clay.livejournal.com]

Haha! Hope you finish the milk though. It would be such a waste. XD

[afuna]

Trying, trying, trying :)
