Voodoo Child Consumes Sour Milk

Yup, you've got it.

I had some lasagne, and I figured that I might as well have a dessert of cookies and milk. How cute, I know. At any rate, I reached into the fridge and grabbed one of those kid-sized milk cartons and cracked it open (after looking for the arrow that said "Open Here" because you just never know, my children). I grabbed an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and then took a swig then noticed a most foul taste. I kept chewing maybe thinking residual lasagne sauces may have interfered with the normal heaven-like quality of cookies and milk. Ahh. Then the sourness faded away, and then we experience near-orgasmic ectasy. Thinking that the residual lasagne sauce theory was proven therefore it was safe to continue to consume cookies, I took another bite and another swig.

The theory was not only incorrect, it smote me upon my palate. Sour milk, mes amis does not taste like milk with a hint of badness, it tastes like I've just licked a battery. That is covered in shit.

Like most normal people, I dumped it out and watched for evidence of spoilage. Hey, it's cottage cheese! Yes, how nasty is that. Unlike most normal people, I left the remaining cartons in the fridge. I definitely hate throwing food out and all, but maybe I had a bad batch? Okay. So maybe I should toss them out.

I have this thing about expiration dates. I should have checked it when I opened the carton of milk, but alas, I thought nothing of it. It was August 28, so I thought this is the last possible day...but NO that day did pass, I believe some time ago. Okay, now I'm feeling really guilty about leaving the milk in there, I am going to take care of that right away. The moral of this story, Voodooites is to check the label. And to eat the cookies without the milk would be just insane. I'm going to the store.

Perhaps drinking sour milk is a kind of character builder?

Voodoo Update! I was wondering why there was one carton of milk open when I first got some. It turns out that Buff Bagwell tried some milk then left the opened carton there. I don't know why...to serve as a warning? He said, "Oh yeah, it tasted funny." That's what I get for not throwing away the milk when I should have. Karma is a bitch.
