T&J's Profile

I stir in it oatmeal, dollop it on greek yogurt, toss it in fruit salads, or thin it way down with oil and balsalmic for a fruity salad dressing. I've also used it as ice cream topping.

I disagree about 'the other' on a foam bed. We've had a foam bed for about 6 months and I prefer the foam to a traditional mattress with box spring. Having no tell tale 'Ka-ching, ka-ching' sound is nice and I no longer worry about waking up my kids or bothering neighbors. It was a pleasant surprise I hadn't expected when we purchased the foam bed.

Make carrot halva--great Indian dessert. You could freeze the milk into ice cube trays and thaw for cooking or crush into smoothies/blender breakfasts. Of course puddings. I've also made good lighter in fat alfredo sauces with milk, but 1% might be a little too light...eh add more butter! :-)

One thing we do for our radiators that are right under windows is put aluminum foil shiny side toward the radiator, on the wall behind the radiator and under the window. This has allowed the heat to bounce back into the room instead of escaping out. We do other things that others have mentioned as well, but this was a simple thing that has saved money and seems to work as well.

It seems like since you're wavering, you shouldn't do it. First time home (any home!) purchasing is a huge deal. From experience, this isn't something to rush into and the creep factor is a little too huge here!
