Got milk? YES!

I know TKC will give me tons of grief over this but I'm addicted to Shatto milk. Not the skim or the 2% mind you, but the full-blown 100 proof stuff. The last couple of weeks I have been unable to get any at the Brookside Market. Today, joy of joys the shelves were stocked again! I just can't drink heavily processed milk anymore. It tastes like chalk water compared to Shatto.

The explanation from the Shatto family makes perfect sense. When the weather's hot, cows don't produce as much milk. Since the Shatto farm is 100% natural, they don't use any hormones to stimulate the cows milk production through the hot spells. They give what they give when they feel like it!

Anyway, I know this is not political post, but I was just really happy to get my Shatto back! All is right once again in this unashamed milk drinker's world. Besides it's my blog and you're not the boss of me! (yet)

Oh yeah, by the way. Don't be like my neighbor (Jimmy) and buy the milk for weeks on end (Jimmy) and take the bottles to the recycling center (Jimmy) all the while never realizing that there's a $1.50 deposit on every bottle! (Jimmy)

Update: I received an email last night from Leroy Shatto thanking me for the post and extending a personal invitation to come tour the dairy. I think we're going to take him up on it. Even my city girl wife wants to meet the cows! In his words "I would love to show you around and allow you to meet the happy girls that produce the milk you enjoy so much." Good product and nice people. What a concept.

My household is hooked as well! I had no idea what real milk even tasted like. If you ever go to BabyCakes in the River Market, make sure you buy some Shatto to go with the yummy strawberry cupcakes.

I'm a little concerned about the amount of milk fat circulating through Mark's body -- but at least there's no bovine growth hormone in there!
He drinks a LOT of Shatto whole milk (2-4 gallons a week). He also eats a lot of ice cream. A LOT of ice cream!
Anybody know a good cardiologist?

Can I go? Take me, take me.

Dear "the wife",

Yes I do drink a lot of milk. I wouldn't say I eat a (lot) of icecream but your point is taken. In my defense I also run a (lot) of miles to burn off the ice cream. 5-7 miles a day should burn off one bowl, shouldn't it?
