Expired Milk

I have to admit something. I pretty much refuse to drink/eat/use anything after its expiration date. Not a couple days after, but the DAY after. I heard on the radio some mom talking about her daughter having a similar problem. The mom was like, "Honey, that date isn't a magical thing that automatically makes the _____ untouchable". Well mother I don't know. Yes it does.

So last week I bought a gallon of milk...with an expiration date 4 days away. My mom told me that I better drink all of it because she was tired of throwing away expired things. The night before the day of expiration came and there was still half a gallon left. I told my dad about my predicament and asked if there was anything I could make that would use A LOT of milk. He said yes, went to the store, and came back with stuff to make flan, tapioca, and chocolate pudding pie. He made the flan.

The next day I get a call from my mom, asking if the tapioca mix and chocolate pudding pie was on the counter so I would stick to my promise to use the milk. Yep. She got me. I can't even be sneaky with that lady. So I made the tapioca and the chocolate pudding pie.

Text from my dad: "this tapioca is sooo good it reminds me of my mom's!!!"

Text from my mom: "mmm...you rock at making tapioca and chocolate pie!"

Apparently it took a gallon of almost expired milk for me to find out that I'm not a COMPLETE failure in the kitchen. Compliments from the parents=success.
