I was in the middle of making dinner when this happened. I’m grateful I poured it into a measuring cup first. Thankfully I don’t live too far from another source.

I remember milk staying good almost a week past its expiration date when I was a kid. Boy have the times changed.

    That was happening to our house and then we discovered that our fridge wasn’t running at food safe temperatures.

    Might be worth putting a thermometer in.

      Bought a house (back when such things were still available to plebs). Hadn’t moved in yet, cleaning etc. Chucked some drinks and snacks into the fridge. Next day, barely chilly. Put a thermometer in, 40-some degrees F.

      A new fridge was just the first unexpected expense.

      I make sure to keep the fridge just above freezing. I do this by actually setting it cold enough to freeze then raising it slightly until things stop freezing.
