> do you have any spare milk i could have so? Im trying to bake a cake to bring over to my new neighbor, but I used it up in my cereal :-(
I did but it went sour. It seems I was adding some to my coffee when I heard a neighbor in their front lawn, screaming about a psycho and a mother dog. I contacted another neighbor to see what was up, which set into motion a chain of events that led me to forget all about the carton of milk setting on the counter.
After I contacted the neighborhood watch leader, who had been advocating that we all look out for unusual occurances on the street, I got a call back from her husband, who happens to be a police officer. He threatened to charge me with filling a false report. It seemed odd to me, since I had not filed a report at all, but it seems the officer is the nephew of the mayor, and the cousin of the municipal judge, so I figure he can file any kind of charge he wants and my chances of finding justice might be pretty slim.
I'm not sure what was up, but it seems the neighbor who was screaming in the front yard and the neighborhood watch leader play cards together every week. Maybe that gained that neighbor some favor with the husband on the police force.
So while all of this was going on, I forgot all about the milk out on the counter until after I left the house to participate in some civic activities. When I finally returned to the kitchen, later that evening, the milk had soured.
Good luck with your cake.
