Milk in NYC

I just tried to make myself a nice cup of tea with milk in it before bed, and when I poured the milk in, it was chunky. This is 4 days before the sell by date in NYC- whereas the milk I bought in Boston usually lasted quite a good while beyond that date, when I didn't use it up too fast, except once in the summer.

I don't understand New York City. Is there something about the place that causes milk to curdle?

I think it does, but the idea of that stuff scares me...

I don't know- I'd turned it down a little becuase there was a buildup of frost forming on the back of the fridge. I think maybe I should try putting the milk closer to the back and putting something else by the front?

Yeah, we rearranged several times... once an egg froze! eep.

I know fridges are designed to have you put eggs and milk in the door but really the constant temp change is bad for them so play musical fridge for awhile

Good luck

Also, hope non-dairy related things in your life are going well!

Eggs on the door? Really? I've never done that- the fridge at home has a little bin for them on a shelf, and this fridge doesn't Seem to have a specific place for eggs...

I've frozen lettuce- makes it quite useless. What happens when you freeze an egg?

Non-dairy related things are going quite well. I hope things are good with you as well. Shanah Tovah!

Eggs don't deal well with freezing, so we tossed it.

Shanah Tovah!
