Dear God - if you keep this up, I might have to start taking you seriously...

So, I lost my keys.

Spent forty minutes this morning looking for them - in places that include the table, the coffee table, the piano, the wardrobe, the kitchen cupboards, the oven, inside my bed, the bathroom rubbish bin, the garden, the car, the garage, every drawer in the house, my bag, my other bag, my other other bag, the couch, and my secret chocolate supply.

They were NOWHERE.


Then, finally, I heaved a sigh of absolute disgust, and said "Hey! God! Can you please give me back my keys? They're kind of IMPORTANT."


That being done, I took one step forward, across the middle of my living room.

...and I stepped on them.


This is just getting ridiculous.

This may be a stupid question - and yes i know google is right there :) - but what is the difference between buttermilk and regular milk?

And, i guess to justify not going to google a little :) - why do you have both?

Buttermilk is what's left over after you've been churning butter. It's a bit sour.

You can make your own - get some full-cream milk and put it in a jar with some marbles and just sit there shaking it for about an hour. You'll end up with butter on the marbles and buttermilk everywhere else in the jar :-) (or so my grade 5 teacher told me)

I went off to Wikipedia to look this up.
Over an hour ago.
I have learnt about the following topics: buttermilk, milk, cockney rhyming slang, polari, Kenneth Williams, impersonators of Kennth Williams, The Goon show, Punch and Judy professors and swazzles.
And heavens knows what else.

The Goon Show is awesome.

It is.

As is your icon.

Buttermilk is more acidic than regular milk, and traditionally it's liquid left after you churn butter into cream, rather than the liquid that comes directly out of a cow (or llama or goat or whatever).

Basically it tastes very different from milk, which makes it gross when you're expecting regular milk. The Vegemite Effect, you might say.

And fuck if I know why it was in my fridge. For a recipe, maybe?
