One thing I won't miss . . . .
Short expiration dates on milk!
And they go bad before they even reach that date, LOL. I buy tiny half pints, organic, I have my fridge turned low. . . . Nothing helps.
So, black coffee for me today.
But soon I will be again in the land of ultra-pasteurization.
Re: One thing I won't miss . . . .
Oh my gosh, I know. I hate it. Thank goodness DH is European so he doesn't mind UHT milk. And I've recently become lactose intolerant so it's rice milk for me.
Otherwise this girl from Wisconsin would be struggling with the fresh milk here.
Now jumping domestically.
Well that was a crazy couple of years.
H drinks the UHT milk. Which took me a long time to get used to buying for him.
I don't drink milk at all because I'll immediately throw it up. The taste is too much for me. I'll just use it for baking or french toast.
Leo is your place humid. When I was growing up we had to keep our bread in the fridge during summer before we had air conditioning to stop it from molding.

Now Nesting from Chicago, IL My nail blog:
Hahaha, you know why this is actually funny to me. For NL, the length of time milk stays good has actually been prolonged sooo much in the last few years. I remember 5 or so years ago, milk would keep for 2, max 3 days. Now it'll go for about a week. I know that's ultra short compared to US milk, but I'm all happy with it because I vividly remember 2-day-milk.
(I only use milk for cappuccino's and if I need it for cooking though, never drink it, so I have no idea if the taste is off when cold any sooner than that week, but I would notice if it'd smell funny.)

I used to get annoyed when my MIL would visit us in the States and I'd find the bread and baked goods in the fridge. Now I understand!

I can't drink UHT milk, it freaks me out. The fresh milk goes bad to quickly. I love drinking milk when I am back in Canada!
I also keep toast bread in the fridge. We usually get a fresh baguette every morning, if there is some left over, then I put it in the freezer so it doesn't go hard.
Ditto to freezing bread. I buy several loaves at a time for D's toast and sandwiches, and just stick it in our freezer. I take out only what I need for that meal, and reseal the bag. It lasts a good few weeks without getting freezer burned.
I buy UHT milk for DH. He doesn't notice a difference in taste, but I think it tastes funny. I'm drink strictly soy, but use normal cows milk when cooking.
I accidentally bought it and could literally taste chemicals. Ick! I actually like the freshness of the milk here and I only use it for coffee or cereal now and then.
