No, but I remember milk and oj getting delivered to the box outside the front door. Fortunately the milkman lived across the street, so it didn't have far to go, LOL. :)
Remember how the glass jugs of milk had paper caps on them and you had to shake the milk up before you poured so the cream would be mixed in with the milk (not homoginized back then).
Yep, I sure do. They also used to recycle the glass bottles, so when we finished, we'd rinse them out and leave them in the box for the milkman to pick up.
I remember the milkman, but not glass bottles. I remember the milk being in bags or jugs and my mom would buy milk tickets from the milkman for us kids to turn in at school for a tiny carton of milk. Our school didn't serve lunch (we all walked home for lunch), so it's a bit weird that they would serve us milk at recess.
Orange juice was delivered by a different guy. I remember that juice was in glass bottles with a metal screw on lid. It was sooo good! It was sweet and had pulp, but the colour was very orange...must have been some added colour and other ingredients because orange juice doesn't taste like that now.
we get our cow's milk in glass bottles from the store. $5.00 deposit.
i do my best to avoid ultra pasturized dairy products. ultra pasturized whole cream will not make fluffy whipped cream. i am lucky i live in a state with at least two really good organic dairy farms.
And when we finally got those snowboots, my mother used to wrap our boots in plastic breadbags tied at the top when we played outdoors. She said it was to keep our socks dry. We didn't complain because every Mom in the neighborhood did the same thing when we all went sledding.
I remember getting 2-3 feet of snow overnight and getting the next day off from school. We'd spend the whole day outside building snow tunnels and snow forts.
Down here I get the day off when we get 1/2 inch of snow, not nearly enough for a tunnel. :)
We didn't get snow days in NY unless there was at least a foot of snow on the ground, any less and we'd slog through it. Down here we get snow days for a dusting, which makes me laugh, but a day off from work is a day off from work, so I'm not complaining. :)
Chocolate pudding for sick kid? We got milk toast... buttered toast with peppered hot milk poured over it. I wonder which was messier when it came back up?
