For years I always shook the plastic milk jug. I'm not sure why. I guess to make sure the residual cream gets mixed in. We get our milk from a local dairy farm now and it comes in glass bottles that are tougher to hold on to so I do so less vigorously if at all.

I have been shaking some since this thread and am enjoying the frothiness. Here are web images of how Grand Pa's operation was compared to Mom & Dad's

Guernsey and Jersey are on my short list of places to visit. I recently learned about the regional knitting patterns for Fishermans sweaters. It is just too darn sad... The locals know where to return the washed up bodies by the style of the knitting.
