awesome! thanks =)
No problem:)
you stated on your video that you placed milk on sale in your freezer. I didn't see how long that would be good for, in fact I've never heard of it. Is it really possible to freeze it?
What about the milk you placed in the freezer? How long can you freeze milk?
I must be a little spacey, I can't believe I forgot to add that, got it up there now:) Yes, I freeze milk all the time. It works best if you freeze whole or 2% milk, those don't separate as much when you thaw them. Before you freeze it pour just a little out. Milk will expand when it freezes and you don't want it to explode. Then when you are ready to thaw it just get it out of the freezer and stick it in the fridge for several days. Try not to use it until it thaws all the way otherwise it will still be a little separated. Hope that helps!
