You've been screwing the milkman! (name that musical)

So I got a sales visit yesterday from my neighborhood milkman.  Yes, Denver still has a milk delivery service, and quite a few people in my neighborhood have pretty blue and white Royal Crest Dairy boxes on their front porches for their deliveries.  In fact, some of the houses we looked at have separate doors for milk delivery, basically compartments in your wall (usually the kitchen) with a door on both the inside and the outside.  Something about them really appealed to me, but unfortunately our house doesn't have one.  At least I have my mail slot, and I can feel happy and quaint about that.

As tempting as it is (and the milk is fresh and REALLY good -- they gave us a free half gallon as a sample), it's expensive, and with as much as I cook, I'm at the grocery store twice a week because I hate planning ahead.  So pretty silly to get a delivery of milk and other dairy products when I still need veggies and stuff.  It was fun to think about for an afternoon though.
