This brought back a bad memory for me as well. My parents tried to “hide” it they would pour out 1/2 of the real milk so they had (2) 1/2 containers & then would fill the rest with powdered crap. Nasty & we would call them on it every time. My dad used to work for Carnation Milk farms so he would get the BIG boxes of it for free & didn’t want it to go to waste. You work for a Milk farm bring home the real stuff please. lol

I lean towards a half full glass as descriptive of my outlook. And not sure how personal vision applies here. Perhaps we can discus when we next proximately visit!

What the heck, right?

Do they even sell that poison dust anymore?

It smelled like vomit and I’d choke with it at every meal.

We had powdered milk and oh my god I blame it for my still present today gag reflex.

Really. The stuff was something that was close to child punishment, wasn’t it?

I haven’t thought about that horrid huge rectangular red and blue box, with the paper that’d tear away to expose a plain cardboard box underneath IN DECADES.

GOOOOOOD RIDDANCE.

Thanks for sharing in my misery, Felt So Good.

That’s what I buy now, Betsy. Minus the powdered backup. #poopsmell

Entertaining post, daughter. And some of it is even true! Yes, while we did have homemade milk – sounds much better than powdered – some of the time, certainly not the only way we flew. The decision to go homemade – gee, I really like that term! – was primarily mine, as I recall. Your mom went along with my idiosyncratic call on this to pick her battles, never seeing a milk decision as significant enough to get exercised over. Aren’t you and your kids glad that I no longer feel the need to go homemade when you are over for a meal!! Oh, Aunt Dixie says hi and that she enjoys your blog in general and latest post in particular!

My mom used to have to buy like 4-5 gallons a week! And . . . We did have the powdered for back up!
