 DS> one gallon, which is the size we buy.

I misunderstood. For some reason I thought you bought milk in single
quarts and used so little that it might go sour.

 DS> We only buy cream when we need it for some special recipe.

Roslind insists on real cream daily without fail for her coffee. We
buy it in the one litre sized carton. We compare both the prices and
the "use by" date and buy 18% rather than 10% as long is it's less
than twice as expensive. We dilute the 18% with 2% milk to make our
own half and half and I like a 6% blend for cereal, cream soups
(thickened with a blond roux) and chowder. If any one of the above
go sour then it's pancake day at our house. We occasionally make our
own yogurt too.

Every time I search the Lithuanian recipe collection for cream, I
get sour cream! They must love the stuff there.
