gotta have cold milk!


I can still recall my grade school days and they made us drink milk at least once a day and it was always luke warm. I need it ice cold too.

I take the generic of Zocor per doctors orders. I eat oatmeal quite a lot too. I read it is good for that but not the instant kind so I use regular oatmeal and add raisins. Sometimes cinnamon.


oatmeal is wonderful for cholesterol also!

problem is, I have to put brown sugar on it!

The original butter thread :-4 ..... like Sunny above it's on the road again! :wah::wah::wah:

The pat of butter I'm working slowly through has been in the fridge, and it's gone rancid. It's OK (quite tasty) with Marmite. It's not in the 'fridge now, 'cos I'm using it.

My butter is fine but the milk is gone...kids go through a gallon every 2 days:-5

Pass The Butter .. Please.



This is interesting . .. .







Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.







It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings..





DO YOU KNOW.. The difference between margarine and butter?





Read on to the end...gets very interesting!





Both have the same amount of calories.





Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for margarine.





Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.





Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.





Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and





only because they are added!





Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.





Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years .





And now, for Margarine..





Very High in Trans fatty acids.





Triples risk of coronary heart disease .





Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)





Increases the risk of cancers up to five times..





Lowers quality of breast milk.





Decreases immune response.





Decreases insulin response.





And here's the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!





Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT





These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).





You can try this yourself:





Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things:





* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)





* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weenie microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

When margarine first came out butter makers were scared. They got laws passed so that margarine could not be colored yellow like butter, but, margarine makers placed a small packet inside the clear plastic bag the margarine was in and when you pressed on the packet it broke inside the margarine packet and you kneaded it until it was yellow like butter. Somehow that law got deleted I guess.

Thinking back, I am not sure why we bought it. We did have a cow and granny made butter in her little glass jar butter churn. It had a crank and wooden paddles inside. But yes, I did color the margarine on occasion.

I love hearing about how things were done way back when.

Maybe she used margarine over butter for something else.

That would take a long time making it that way.

I remember a horse drawn cart with milk, margarine and butter, each day I just had to run out and pet the horse.:-6

Oh yes. I remember the ice cream wagon and the ice wagon. The ice man would give us pieces of ice and we had a card to place in the screen door with the size of block of ice we wanted. 25, 50 ,75, or 100. He would read it from the street and carry it in and put it in the box. We had chickens and a garden and a basement full of canned goods from the garden. We did not even have a car for many years so traded gas ration stamps for sugar stamps. Not sure what all you had to have stamps for.

Dad would drive a stake in the ground where lots of grass was and tie the cow to the stake until evening he would go get it. We had a barn and hay manger etc.

I don't think we had an ice wagon, as I cannot remember.

oh that is so nice having your own chickens, a garden and so many home made canned goods.

that's funny about your cow being tied up to eat grass all day.

Yes, it was nice to have peaches and pears and cherries and of course lots of beets and tomatoes and so forth. we had a walnut tree but that was no big deal since walnut trees grew all over the place.

We made home made ice cream a lot since we had the milk and eggs. we just had to get extra ice. Dad had eight brothers, all farmers so at times we all met in the country and us kids skinny dipped while the men played horse shoes and the women set a great table with food of all sorts.

What a fantastic memory, Okie!!! Happy Easter, retrospectively. Hope a bunny laid you an especially delicious egg :sneaky: . I've got Dieter in tow for the school holidays.. he's so big now. He ate 6 croissants for his brekkie, can you believe that?!!! All made with butter, of possibly the non refrigerated kind.

I did enjoy Easter a lot. We had Easter dinner here and the kids hunted eggs in the lawn then we went over to Dustins house and babysat the kids while Karen and Dustin and Shannon all went out to hunt morels.

That is so great Dieter has a good appetite. Dustins boy does too. I did get some pics but not while hunting, just a group. I will get them online after I get a cd made.

Caleb does have a big appetite too but he is not a real big boy.

Hi Pam!

Did you have a good Easter?

I love talking about the old days!

just seemed simply then.

Really life was simple for me at least. People never locked their house or car. When I was about 12 or so I would carry a shotgun or rifle out the front door and down the street to the river. No one seemed to mind. We had no tv then and I did listen to mysteries on the radio but mostly I stayed out until after dark. When I was a boy I would take a note to the neighborhood store and get groceries and they would just write it down in a book. On payday dad took his check to the store and cashed it and paid them for the last two weeks groceries. Stores uptown all closed at 6 pm except Thursday evening they stayed open until 9.

My parents never locked our doors either.

In the summer heat, they would sleep outside under our carport on fold a way beds.

Your right, no one seemed to mind much back then and life was much simpler it seemed.

I still remember our black and white t.v, then along came a plastic screen to place over it to make it look like it had colour, wow, we thought that was the best.

You would never allow a child to stay out after dark now a days.

and no stores would take credit for 2 weeks.

We had a street light on the corner across the street from my house so we played near the streetlight until bedtime. We boxed and wrestled etc but we also liked to pick up rocks and toss into the air towards bats and watch them whirl around and dive after the rock mistaking it for a bug.

We played games after dark like hide and seek and that sort of thing.

I slept on a screenporch that had canvas to roll down if I wanted. Like sleeping outside really.I loved it. No sounds of snoring or clocks ticking, just nature sounds.

Are we really that much less secure now, or are people just more afraid?

AussiePam;1302272 wrote: Are we really that much less secure now, or are people just more afraid?


I know in Canada Pam, we are no longer secured.

There are numerous murders here in Toronto every day.

AussiePam;1302272 wrote: Are we really that much less secure now, or are people just more afraid?


You might have a point. Now people hear about every murder and beating etc all over the country or the world really. At one pint in time, we only heard a small amount of news at 6 pm and 10 pm on the radio and some in the local newspapers in the evenings. Now everyone carries a cell phone with a camera in it and you see almost every mugging that goes on. But yes, I would be scared to sleep out in the front lawn for sure.

Halloween is only a week away. Can we resurrect this undead thread?

Accountable;1340573 wrote: Halloween is only a week away. Can we resurrect this undead thread?


I have tried a few times to not refrigerate and it always ended the same. A puddle of butter in the butter dish. Long ago when I worked for a railroad, we had to keep government shipments of butter at -10% but for commercial just under 32% was alright. the difference is that butter never freezes but if it is kept below -10% it will keep a long time without becoming rancid. Of course one stick will not become rancid normally since it is eaten faster than that. I love butter whipped up with molasses. Put it on hot biscuits and its great.
