Default Milk past the expiration date

So two days ago I come home from picking up my breakfast at pita pit like usual, and I pull out a 1/2 gallon of milk from my mini fridge that had been sitting in the living room for a while cause it stored beer for our party and that I had just moved back into my room last night.

Anyways, I take a drink and I think to myself....hmmm that tastes a little weird, oh well, its probably just because its a little too cold because I set the temp a little lower last night, I'll set it back right now....

Ok so I do that, take another sip of it and realize it probably wasnt the temp, and something is for sure wrong.

So I look at the expiration date: FEB 7th

AHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Anyone ever do this?

10 days is a lot, but I've found that as long as it's kept consistently cold, the lower the fat content, the longer it keeps. I usually buy 1%, and it's still sweet a week after the expiration date.

If it's gone sour, but not turned into chunks, you can still make Bisquick pancakes and the like with it.

I wouldn't drink milk even if it hadn't expired.

I know poker players are stereotypically frugal, but my god man!

Heh - my GF was giving me sh[/b]it about this as well. We're both Asian (also stereotypically frugal) and she thought I was insane for cooking with the sour milk.

I have to place the blame for this squarely on the shoulders of my mom. Though we didn't often have milk go over when I was a kid, "cooking with it" was SOP. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Man, if my milk gets within 2 days of expiration, it's gone.

There are 2 things that ClarkNasty rules at:

1. Limit HE
2. Throwing out milk at the proper time

Listen to this man

I couldn't agree more. Once it gets past the expiration date, I'm afraid to even throw it out, because I'd have to smell it pouring down the sink.

I have a carton of half-and-half in my fridge right now that expired about 10 days ago...
