I bought ice cream, incidentally, the other day and have been subsisting off the cookie creaminess up until yesterday when I returned to Kroger (curse its name) to replenish my milk supplies. The milk wasn't on sale and was kind of expensive. Considering the number of cows I see around here and our relative proximity to Wisconsin I feel a little cheated that milk prices are so high. I guess it's just another symptom of a sick market. Godspeed the US Department of Treasury with its manufactured millions -- my cold cereal habit is burning through my bank account. Fortunately I still have some ice cream left.
