All that talk about egg nog

[divingbiker]

during the early-mid 70s my mother "cut" our milk with powdered milk (which she always didn't mix in well--clumps, gross) to save money

Gawd, I remember that awful stuff. My mom did the same thing, and it was such a treat to go to my cousin's or my grandma's house and drink the real thing. (Back when I drank milk.)

Huh. We only had reconstituted powdered milk. No "cutting" anything. I wonder if I'd be so allergic to milk if I hadn't been exposed to whatever powdering does to the proteins...


(And it was uphill. Both ways. In the snow. )
