MILK AND COOKIES

What can I say about this universal food pairing? 

A Cup of Milk

We've been having a heated debate over milk at our house.  Our kids (and I) like it a lot so go through it quicker than my husband thinks we should.  Between cereal snacks, flavored straws, and just pairing it with traditional PB&J it gets sucked out of the carton lickety split.  My thought...why fight it?  Its good for you.  Our kids could be craving something much worse, but the cost of it makes my husband squirm.  Maybe we should place a cow out by the garden this year instead.

Kool-Aid in a Jug

When we were kids my mom always had two beverages in the house: iced tea (for her) and kool-aid (for us). Both were always in their own re-used plastic milk jug. I had a little too much kool-aid as a kid and prefer to not drink it now. The irony is that my husband now makes kool-aid for our kids and himself, because he never had it as a child. Ah, the circle of life.
