Stephen skipped out on work yesterday to spend the day with me car-hunting. After five hours of wading through cars along Ft. Crook Road, we were shown a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer, charcoal color, that had just arrived on the lot to be shown the next morning, and was not yet detailed. We decided it shall join our 4 1/2 year old battered creampuff tomorrow and be our camping/vacation/in-town vehicle. ;-) We also stumbled across a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer EXT that we kept in our back pocket a long time, and was a real consideration because of its price, but in the end the 2005 was newer, cheaper, and suited our needs a little bit better- though the roominess and extra seating of the EXT would have been really awesome. We also test drove a 2006 Saturn Vue, which we did like, but the price wasn't where it needed to be to hook us. So that is that; we have two cars again!
I made Mom's beef and barley soup last night for supper. As I was enjoying a hearty bowl and watching the premiere of Lost, I sipped on an ice cold glass milk. The meal was great, but the milk, well... it had a unique aftertaste. I couldn't quite place it. I took several whiffs, but the odor was wholesome... I thought, maybe it tastes this way because it is skim? In spite of these thoughts, I continued to enjoy the milk, until I had downed more than 3/4 of the glass. It was at this point that I convinced myself it was necessary to actually peer down into my beverage recepticle. Little white floaty thingys drifted atop the surface, and these little white floaty thingys clung to glass where the milk was absent.
Chunks of milk.
NAAAAAAAASSSSTTTTY.
It was later discovered that the milk was not spoiled after all (shouldn't have been... was a brand new gallon), but it was the kind you "shake" before pouring to disperse its "cream top". It says so on the label. Who ever heard of milk that you needed to shake before drinking??? That is just... wrong. I really don't want to drink it, but I would feel convicted pouring that whole stinkin' gallon down the sink. It was not cheap. Would you drink chunky milk knowing it was not spoiled? Would you be able to reconcile the two without the inclination to urp?

Congratulations on your find! You are again free to go out and about as you need! How does it feel?
As for the milk... I personally would empty the glass down the drain (yuk!!) but keep the gallon. Oh, and I don't think I'd forget to give the container a good shake. (In fact, I'll probably think of that whenever I go to pour a glass of milk!)
That's a bit gross. But I don't know, I guess I'd have to taste it or something first.
