More chocolate milk...

I burnt a milk carton today.
Simply placed it on our glass top stove while I was making mac and cheese for lunch. Nevermind the fact that I placed it on a hot eye.
It the room filled with a burnt plastic smell.

I opened all the windows and welcomed the fresh, cold air. 
There was sunshine today. And lots of it, I stood at the window and felt the warmth of the sun, and cold breeze flow through the house.

I thought the milk carton was ok- other than being a little black on the bottom- so I stuck it back on the shelf in the fridge.
David discovered tonight that it had leaked.

The inside of my fridge is clean now.
And I have 6 batches of muffins either baking or cooling.
We're having muffins for breakfast in the morning.
I'll also be freezing some to enjoy later this month.

I thought 6 batches of muffins would use all the milk.
I was wrong.
There's 4 sippie cups of milk in my fridge.
And I just made a really big glass of chocolate milk.
And there was still milk left in the leaking carton...
It's now in a small, but still too big, pitcher in my fridge.

I need more chocolate milk in my life.
The boys need more chocolate milk in theirs, too.

  1. All 4 of us love chocolate milk :)

    I totally would do something like that with the cartoon too.

  2. Ah, there's nothing like a little kitchen mess to test your ingenuity! I'd say the chocolate milke is your reward for a disaster averted :)

    Oh my G-d did I go through a struggle to get my kid to drink any sort of milk at all!
