Use Spoiled Milk in place of buttermilk?
- Hank Hanover May 27, 2011 12:29 AM
I, recently, met a gentleman that keeps his old spoiled milk around for when he needs buttermilk in waffles or baked goods. He says they are perfectly interchangeable. This guy is a chemical engineer so I assume he knows what he is talking about.
Once we get past the initial "eeck" factor, do you folks think spoiled milk is an acceptable substitute for buttermilk in baking?
Another question. Wouldn't it be easier to acidify a cup of milk when I make waffles rather than keep buttermilk around?
I have listed some definitions below; I think we may need for this discussion. Hopefully, I haven't butchered them too badly.
Soured Milk or Acidified Milk
1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar in a cup of milk and left standing for 5 minutes.
The thin liquid leftover from making butter.
Cultured Buttermilk
Milk which has had a culture of lactic acid bacteria added to simulate the naturally occurring bacteria found in old-fashioned buttermilk.
Spoiled Milk
It is milk that has been too long in the refrigerator and turned sour. It has a distinctive smell and appearance, depending on when the milk turned. It might taste bitter as it begins to turn. It also will smell sour. As it continues to spoil, milk develops chunks that are curdled milk.
Home made live yoghurt
The milk is first heated to kill any undesirable bacteria and make the milk proteins set together rather than form curds. The milk is then cooled. The bacteria culture is added, and the milk is fermented for 4 to 7 hours.
This reminds me of a story my wife shared with me. It seems her father liked to drink buttermilk. As a girl, she used to give him a hard time about it. She would ask.."So Dad....How do you tell when buttermilk has gone bad?"
re: cowboyardee
plus one
re: cowboyardee
kind of the same thing I go through often when making ricotta cheese in my kitchen.
the consistency is correct but the flavor is off putting, thinking it tastes like spoiled milk cheese
Like you, I rarely have buttermilk around if I decide I want pancakes etc, so I do tend to go off-piste with slightly dubious dairy products. I would substitute milk that was "on the turn", rather than fully sour and lumpy. I also wouldn't substitute the full amount of dodgy milk, i'd use up a mixture of whatever odds and end of sour cream/yoghurt/cream/milk that I had in the fridge.
However if I was cooking for anyone other than myself, and anything other than a lazy breakfast, I'd probably just go out and buy some buttermilk!
I often add lemon juice to milk for buttermilk. It adds more fat since I usually use whole milk vs low fat buttermilk that you get in stores. One reason for using buttermilk or lemon juice/vinegar/acid is to react to the baking soda in the recipe. I also use powdered buttermilk which also works well. I don't know if soured milk has more acidity than regular milk. The recipes I've seen for it have added acid but you do get the tart/yogurt/sour cream taste w/ the soured milk.
I do know that milk that has gone off naturally (as in, turned while under refrigeration) is a fine and acceptable substitute for buttermilk, especially in small doses. I've used it many times when I didn't have a lemon around to sour milk, and whomped up a howlingly good batch of biscuits with it. On the milk-souring tip, if I do add lemon or vinegar, I stir the few drops in and let it sit for more like a half-hour........I'm sure you've noticed that your milk develops a thick top layer after a few minutes, but after a half-hour the whole cup has taken on the thicker consistency, which I think makes for a more consistent result.......especially in baking.
re: mamachef
Thanks, Mamachef, you are one of my favorite hounds!. A friend just gave me an old fashioned recipe for "clabber cake". She says that when milk goes bad, she puts it in the back of the fridge until she wants to make the cake. I made a face at that, since my sour milk has always gone down the drain, and she was surprised! I am definitely going to try it. (My friend and I both live where buttermilk, even the powder, is not available.)
re: greygarious
Speaking of the lumpy stage, if milk is kept in the refrigerator, I think it would take weeks to get lumpy.
re: Hank Hanover
On occasion, my fridge is a time capsule for items I don't use often, like milk ;o)
re: Hank Hanover
One would think that,wouldn't they? I took some milk out of the fridge that was dated May 21, so it was 6 days beyond date and had been kept in the fridge except just to pull it out and use it for cooking.It was lumpy,chunky stuff. I was making fried cornbread and had dumped some into the dry ingredients before I realized there were lumps. I added some water to the batter and fried it anyway,thinking I would toss it out to the outside critters if nothing else. But my daughter and husband thought the cornbread was good. I had already dumped the rest down the drain.
re: MellieMag
A lot has to do with how many times it was taken out of the fridge prior to the expiration date or how it's temperature has varied . I've had milk that was barely used sit in a fridge for well over a month after the expiration date and it was not sour or lumpy and smelled like milk. I was amazed.
Milk that has soured is different than ultra-pasteurized milk that has gone bad. The latter has a really disgusting smell. It is my general understanding is that it is harder for today's commercial milk to sour in a way that is useful in cooking.
I use milk with lemon juice when I am out of buttermilk, but it is not as sour and in my pancake batter the result is thinner.
re: cocktailhour
When one had a choice between homogenized/pasteurized milk and just plain pasteurized, we always got the latter because, as Mom explained, "Homogenized milk doesn't sour, it just ROTS!" She was really annoyed when that was no longer an option.
Milk that has only just gone "off" enough to curdle in coffee but not enough to taste terrible might be worth using, but any souring past that gets it dumped around here. I just do the white-vinegar thing if I need some buttermilk for biscuits on short notice.
re: cocktailhour
Mom used to save what she called 'clabbered milk,' for baking biscuits or cornbread. However, in later life, she swore that "today's ultra-pasteurized milk" wouldn't properly clabber, just turns sour. True?
re: cocktailhour
There is a huge difference between "sour milk" which is less fresh unpasturized milk, "old milk" that is pasturized and picked up off flavors but is not spoiled, and "rank" ultrapasturized milk. The first two are fine for baking. The second is rank.
I've never heard that homegenization has anything to do with souring. It only related to the fat being evenly dispersed in the milk.
Ultra-pasturized milk is horrid when it is fresh too. I won't touch it.
re: JudiAU
I wonder if, in non-homogenized milk, the thick puck of fat at the top of the milk jar has a sort of preservative quality in the same way that the puck of chicken fat seals the air out of a rich chicken stock.
Mr Taster
re: Mr Taster
Stock starts out sterile due to boiling. The fat seal forms before bacteria and mold have a chance to colonize the gelatin rich stock.
Raw milk sours due to bacteria that is already present. Cream can also sour naturally.
When pasteurized, milk is brought up to a target temperature, and then rapidly cooled. If bottled before cooling, the cream that rises to the top might protect the milk below. If cooled and then bottled, then the sanitation of the bottling equipment is critical.
But as I wrote cream can also sour. And once you pour off the initial cap, the milk is not longer 'protected'.
re: JudiAU
most organic milk is ultra pasteurized.
re: divadmas
Trader Joe's organic milk is not ultra pasteurized.
Mr Taster
re: divadmas
It really depends on your area. In my area, no. If you shop mostly at big box stores that traffic in second rate dairy trucked in from other states (Horizon), yes. And the irony is that they often charge a premium for this, the lowest quality of all organic dairy brands.I
f you shop at stores that source their dairy locally than it is not. I would have to go out of way to buy ultra-pasturized organic dairy. Why people choose to buy that nasty milk is beyond me.
How about using milk that has just turned sour (not yet lumpy) to make cultured buttermilk by adding some just-purchased cultured buttermilk to it (4:1 ratio)? I plan to leave it at room temp for 24 hours like I usually do when making cultured buttermilk from "fresh" milk. Can someone more knowledgeable foresee any issues?
I have made yogurt with "old" milk, but I was more comfortable with that since the milk is heated.
re: bmorecupcake
Troubles may arise if too many unfriendly bugs have taken hold of the gone off milk before you add your more favorable cultures. They will most likely go unnoticed unscathed, you may see them take hold or smell them eventually, or all might be fine until you eat it and get sick. It all depends on how much the milk had turned already and with what bacteria, so there isn't a real practical way of telling.
That being said, if the milk is just sour, to me that is good bacteria producing lactic acid and would probably be find to overwhelm with some more buttermilk cultures to give it all a fighting chance. You wont end up with buttermilk however, due to the milk proteins that are still present. Something more Yogurt-y I would expect, which you would then be able to turn into delicious cultured butter and buttermilk.
re: Mcooper
Mcooper, thanks for the detailed response. I am still confused why I wouldn't end up with buttermilk "due to the milk proteins that are still present". Specifically, how would these milk proteins be different than when I make cultured buttermilk with unexpired milk? I mix a 4:1 ratio of milk to buttermilk and let sit for 24 hours at room temp. Or has that not been cultured buttermilk this whole time, but rather some yogurt-y thing?
re: bmorecupcake
I believe the potential problem is that when you make buttermilk, what you're doing is culturing a specific microbe in the milk. You're adding buttermilk to fresh milk and creating favorable conditions for that bacteria to culture as opposed to other bacteria.
When you start with milk that's already started to sour, you've already got a critical mass of competing microbes in the mix. Those microbes likely have their own 'defenses' that encourage their growth and discourage the growth of competing organisms - namely the one you want to culture. There are more than one bacteria species that can grow in milk and produce lactic acid, and I'm not sure that they all create the kind of buttermilk we know and love.
The end result? I don't know, to be honest. You may get buttermilk. You may get something similar but a bit different. You may get very spoiled milk. Potentially even something that's dangerous to drink or use. Likely, you'll get inconsistent results.
I should add that I'm speaking from my offhand understanding of the process and not actual trial and error in culturing starting with soured milk.
re: cowboyardee
Thanks for the detailed explanation! The "buttermilk" looks and smells fine. Will probably bring myself to sample a taste today.
re: bmorecupcake
Sorry for the confusion Bmorecupcake. Cowboyardee is correct.
Regarding the confusion as to why you might not get buttermilk due to milk solids - that was a misunderstanding on my part - can't have been paying full attention. I've made cultured butter in the very same way you're making buttermilk, only I used cream that wasn't sour and added buttermilk. I took it a step further to get cultured butter, and buttermilk as an end result - both were quite delicious!
I believe there are about a half dozen lactic acid producing bacteria often found in milk, all of them are fine for consumption and develop their own, slightly different sour flavor. There are more around, but they are rarer in milk. The pathogens found in spoiled milk will lend their own funk, which you will most likely be able to smell, or you will see some as a mold that is producing toxins.
So you aren't 100% safe drinking your buttermilk, some people wouldn't drink it, some would, if it smelt and looked good to me, I would :-)
re: bmorecupcake
Well, whatever it is, it's delicious. Used some today in a batch of pancakes. Haven't made pancakes this good in a long time. I hope to try some in a non-red velvet cake (red velvet cake recipe without the red).
re: Mcooper
Milk that has been pasteurized, especially the higher temperature versions of the method, has little of the original bacteria present. It keeps longer without spoiling, but when it does spoil, it is less likely that a benign strain of bacteria is doing it. Hence a wider range of experiences when using 'spoiled' milk.
When baking, what's the point in acidifying the milk, that adding the acid to the milk and letting it sit a bit? Why not just add the milk and acid separately to the batter?
If you used baking powder, you can also use buttermilk without any extra baking soda. In theory, at least, the buttermilk flavor (acidity) should come through stronger. However acidity slows down browning. I think I've detected that pattern - biscuits with buttermilk but no baking soda don't get as dark as ones with plain (powdered) milk.
re: paulj
If you let the milk-acid mixture sit for a while, it thickens up so you get a closer consistency to buttermilk than you would if you added the milk and acid separately. But like Mamachef mentioned above, you have to let it sit for quite a while. I've found that if you use half-and-half instead of milk, it thickens up in a few minutes (although then you're throwing off the fat content, which might be just as serious as throwing off the liquid in a tricky recipe).
That's interesting about the browning. I'll have to look for that next time I make something with buttermilk.
re: BananaBirkLarsen
The thickening would matter when making a salad dressing. But when baking something like biscuits, I wonder if it matters.
What is the thickening? My guess is that the acid is producing a change in the milk proteins, not enough to make curds. Adding acid to warm milk is one way of making cheese. Citric acid probably works just as well as lactic acid.
I think it's easier to keep the dried powder on hand that I add to milk to make a buttermilk substiture. It's readily available in most grocery stores in east Tennessee in the dried milk powder part of the stores.
re: Soop
If the recipe is already using baking powder at roughly the 1 tsp per cup of flour ratio, the use of buttermilk and baking soda is entirely optional - at least from a leavening standpoint. And if needed you can replace the baking soda with baking powder.
Other than that buttermilk adds a bit of its own flavor, and may alter the pH of the dough (depending on the acid to baking soda ratio). I mentioned that a more acid dough does not brown as readily. pH also affects the texture, though that is usually something that only industrial bakers focus on, using one or more of those multi syllable chemicals at the end of the ingredients list. In fact they worry about the final pH as much as the initial.
re: Soop
Soop---I don't know your pancake recipe but some recipes depend on the combination of acid and baking soda to raise the batter. If you add a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice to your regular milk you may get more lift. (There is even a toy boat that uses jet fuel made of vinegar and baking soda---the combination gets bubbly and creates a whoosh.)
re: Querencia
I remember that toy! But yes Paul, my pankakes use Baking powder rather than soda.
Dairy Researchers Identify Bacterial Spoilers in Milk
re: paulj
More info on the Bacterium and some pretty pictures
Bleeeeehhhh......spoiled milk. Wouldn't substitute it because it's not necessarily as sour as cultured buttermilk, it just has an unknown bacteria over-growing. That bacteria MIGHT produce lactic acid, or perhaps Listeria poisoning, you just wouldn't know.
Of course I realize you're going to bake all the bacteria into oblivion, so it's no harm done, but
a) spoiled milk is gonna stink up the fridge b) my elderly dad might drink it by mistake and end up with a s**** little problem that I could have avoided c) the finished cake may not have the flavour I wanted.
Personally, I like to know exactly what I'm cooking with and use the freshest ingredients possible.
Aaagh! "Is my fish/meat/milk OK? It smells bad."
When I read these posts I think "If it smells bad, it is beginning to decompose, to rot. It is no longer for the living, or of the living -- bury it!"
Some that I've read here has convinced me that maybe (just maybe), in very specific cases, I might be too rigid in my thinking.
re: blue room
My mother used to keep "old milk" in a container on the counter at room temperature. It was whole milk and it becamed sour and thickened. She would use it in a spice cake recipe which has been lost. It was called "Wilmington Spice Cake" and had a crumb topping.
re: blue room
Just before this thread was resurrected, I finished eating a late lunch including instant mashed potatoes. I keep the flakes on hand for whenever I have milk or cream that is spoiling and needs using up NOW, since the instant can absorb more dairy than fresh-cooked potatoes will.
This time it was several ounces of soured evaporated milk. Before it turned, I was planning on making pudding with it but never got a "round tuit", that most elusive homekeeping tool! Flavored with cheese or garlic, mashed spuds made with spoiled milk taste fine and have never caused me any illness, but I concede that my gut flora are the microscopic version of a Navy SEAL team, compared to most folks' conscripted inductee flora. They've been trained over the years by preserves and applesauce that had been festooned with blue=gray mold, irridescent cold cuts, and the like. I subscribe firmly to the idea that a healthy immune system is developed and maintained by frequent exposure to germs, not by avoiding them. Within reason.
re: greygarious
sour milk can have different bacteria working on it. if i suspect milk is getting old and not already turned i will scald then mix about 1 part buttermilk with 3-4 parts milk and leave in a jar out on the counter at least 24 hours but well less than 48. the active culture makes a thin yogurt like consistency. i use it as buttermilk and it will keep in fridge for at least several weeks. you have to use more storebought buttermilk to make more though. i just did this with fresh milk and no scalding. doing this with cream makes marscapone you can put it in strainer to drain to firm it up.
we are germophobic though our bodies contain more bacteria cells than human cells, bacteria are just smaller cells. but we do react differently. my niece has gone to the hospital over older bread with no visible growths that other people were eating with no problem. i have often picked off moldy spots and eaten the bread with no problem. i do draw the line at the shiny lunchmeat, though.
i think the difference between spoiled clumpy milk and just sour milk is pretty clear. though i just made some coffee and added some older organic milk that looked and tasted fine. there were small clumps that would not stir out. it tasted ok but the texture was off in the top half inch so i tossed it.

Give yourself a post-Christmas present and tune in to PBS's American Masters series to watch Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance this Friday, Dec. 28 at 9:00 P.M. (check local listings). When it was first shown at Dance on Camera Festival, I got excited and wrote about it in our "New York Notebook."
The Joffrey caught the sign of the times in the 1960s, '70s, and '80s. Robert Joffrey dared to use rock 'n roll; he discovered Twyla Tharp and Frederick Ashton for American audiences; he mounted a brilliant reconstruction of Nijinsky's scandalous Rite of Spring (which you will be hearing about in our February issue). Then, tragically, he died of AIDS in 1988, plunging the company into a morass of indecision. But it's a happy ending: Relocating to Chicago in 1995 was the right move. And now, judging from the terrific program I saw last winter, the Joffrey Ballet is thriving again. —Wendy Perron

"Love the app, use it and the games version daily, but would love to have loan support on the mobile app when loaning movies to friends without needing to use my PC."
May 25, 2014
"Excellent App! Worth the money. I found I had double on Movies. Now I have all my movies in any device at any time. Won't be buying the same movie twice again. Plus it gives you all details from movie, cast, rating, year, ect."
May 11, 2014
"The app does what it advertises, however it tends to occasionally crash after entering in a movie. I have entered over 200 movies and found this to be the only problem. Fix this and will give it 5 stars.
UPDATE: After further days of entering movie data and check with the app developer it was determined that ISO 7.1.1 temporarily made my IPad unstable. Since then it appears to have settled down and have no further crashes. I now give this very well thought out app 5 stars."

April 27, 2014
"I have used Collectorz for a long time without any problems. After buying an iPad my very large database is completely synced from the Cloud to my MacPro, MacBookPro, iPad and iPhone. All done seamlessly.
I have tried others from App Store and they are less than useless. Over the years the online support has been fast and very helpful. It may be a little more expensive but "You get what you pay for" and don't waste time adding data only to lose it for no reason."

I've just seen a two-minute review of The Curve on YouTube. I'm trying to get my head around all the many different ways that video is being used to spread messages, and came across this, so I thought I would share it.
Get The Curve Now
The Curve will tell you how to use the web to give stuff away from free, to build relationships with your biggest fans and to charge them lots of money for things they value.more
Making publishing into a consumer-facing business
Stephen Page, chief executive of Faber, wrote a piece in the Bookseller at the Frankfurt Book Fair about changing publishing to have a direct relationship with consumers. He was kind enough to reference The Curve several times.
The full article is available on p14 of this Yudu version of the Bookseller.
TEDx talk: help needed with my title
I've been invited to speak at TEDx Brum on 8th November.
From Guardian membership to U2 giveaways: some thoughts on free #mcs2014
I will be chairing the Mobile Content Summit in London on Thursday 2nd October. In advance of the event, BusinessTechnology interviewed me for my thoughts on free and making money in a digital age. The interview is reproduced (with permission) below.
The customers of the digital world expect more for less. We read openly-available news online, stream music from Spotify for free, and play chart-topping games like Angry Birds and Candy Crush Saga without parting with any of our cash – initially, at least. Continue Reading
Does this chart show that print is over?
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics has put together a chart showing how expenditure on the written word varies by demographic. It focuses on newspapers, magazines, books and ebooks. That's a bit odd because it includes the digital versions of books (ebooks) but not the digital versions of magazines and newspapers (websites).
How musicians can embrace The Curve
I was recently asked to speak at The Hub's One Dayer event, called Joining the Dots: Finance, Technology and the Future of Independent Music. I sat on a panel with a lawyer, an agent and a venue owner and argued about how musicians can make money in the digital age.
You can see the full video of the panel below.
Becoming a YouTube star
YouTube is a very powerful medium for reaching an audience, and starting the process of earning the right to talk to them. So much so that in the games industry, YouTubers have become the tastemakers who can make or break games, much more so than that traditional press channels of reviews and the specialist press.
A successful YouTuber recently wrote up what it takes to become a successful YouTuber, the financial model, the benefits and pitfalls of signing up to a multi-channel network and the ethical challenges that YouTubers face.
The Curve–in a single sketch
I gave a talk at Tech City in London in May and audience member Ralph Wilson decided to take notes in the form of a sketch. He was kind enough to share it with me, and to let me share it with you.
How etailers can take advantage of the Curve, and make money when everything is going free.
In June 2014, I was asked by Google to go to their offices and talk about the ideas of the Curve to a room full of etailers. It was part of an afternoon when Google pointed out that ecommerce providers in the UK have three times as many page views as every newspaper and magazine in the UK combined. They are fixated on conversion rates and sales, yet they offer a enormous, free, value-added resource to their customers which can be harnessed as a revenue strategy (through advertising) and through a Curve strategy (through content marketing, earning the right to talk to their customers again and enabling superfans.)
Case studies: the Marvel of comics
When you have seventy-five years of history and over 5,000 characters in your archives, including Spiderman, The Incredible Hulk and Captain America, you have a lot of potential to experiment with a Curve strategy.
Marvel is in such a lucky position. In 2009 Disney acquired the comic book publisher for $4 billion. At the time, it was the eighth largest magazine publisher in the US, and 4.1 million people read its content every month. That said, even by the time of the acquisition Marvel was far from just a comic book business. Although it made $125 million from publishing in 2008, that represented less than a fifth of its revenue: the bulk was made up from licensing ($293 million, 43 per cent) and film production ($255 million, 38 per cent). It's a brand and movie business, and since 2000 there has been a Marvel-licensed blockbuster in cinemas every single year. Continue Reading

■ What: Comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
■ When: 7 p.m. today, June 26.
■ Where: Tivoli Theatre, 709 Broad St.
■ Admission: $82.50 and $125, plus fees.
■ Phone: 423-642-TIXS.
■ Website: www.ChattanoogaOnStage.com.
■ "Seinfeld," the series, aired from July 5, 1989, to May 14, 1998. It led the Nielsen ratings in its sixth and ninth seasons and finished among the top two (with NBC's "ER") every year from 1994 to 1998.
■ In 1997, the episodes "The Boyfriend" and "The Parking Garage" were ranked No. 4 and No. 33, respectively, on TV Guide's 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time. In 2009, "The Contest" was ranked No. 1 on the magazine's list of TV's Top 100 Episodes of All Time.
■ E! network named it the "No. 1 reason the '90s ruled."
■ In 2013, the Writers Guild of America named "Seinfeld" the No. 2 Best Written TV Series of All Time (second to "The Sopranos").
■ That same year, Entertainment Weekly named it the third best TV series of all time.
Last week, E! Online was reporting that Jerry Seinfeld was vacationing with his family in Greece. Here's hoping he remembered he has a show to do tonight, June 26, in Chattanooga.
Outside of his stand-up work, the comedian is known for his namesake television series, "Seinfeld." The "show about nothing" ran for nine seasons on NBC and became a cultural phenomenon.
These days, Seinfeld most often pops up in the Web series "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" on Crackle.com. The show is just what it sounds like: Seinfeld and a famous friend take a drive to get a beverage and share stories along the way (guests have included Louis C.K., Tina Fey, Larry David and Mel Brooks). The production is low-key, the atmosphere relaxed, the conversation stellar.
The Washington Post reports that the show, which debuted its fourth season last week, has logged more than 40 million views and was nominated for an Emmy.
Before Seinfeld turned 60 (in April), the British daily newspaper The Guardian poked a little fun, pointing out that he was approaching the age he used to tell jokes about. ("My folks are moving to Florida. They didn't want to move to Florida, but they're in their 60s, and that's the law.")
His Grecian holiday marked another milestone for Seinfeld -- he took his first selfie. In the snapshot, Seinfeld and his wife, Jessica, look away from the camera as he gives a silly smile. On Instagram, his wife wrote, "Jerry's First Selfie. Ugh. Stop."

"The Real L Word" recap: Episode 308 – "Premonitionsâ€
Since a lot of changes have been going on in her life, including her new "career," Romi decides to center herself by having dinner with her extended family.
She tells us that she has two special needs brothers and that their disabilities are related to her dad getting exposed to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. She tells us that she wants to make it big, so she can take care of her family. I don't know if singing cheesy tunes that sounded like they came out of a 1990s Eurotrash nightclub with a guy who isn't even signed to a record label is the most practical way to reach that goal, but hey, at least her heart is in the right place.
In a less quiet part of town, Whitney has invited Amanda out to play. Amanda broke up with her ex for real this time (we think), Lauren is out of town, so Whitney wants to help Amanda get her mind off of things.
Whitney, Sara and Amanda sit around having drinks at a nightclub, and before Amanda even opens her mouth, Sara already has a sour face. Amanda innocently suggests that she would love to help design the outfits for their wedding. She just worked on a runway show with an LA based designer named Lloyd Klein.
The she adds, "I'm not a designer in any way, but I'm really good with fashion!" Sort of like how Romi isn't a singer in any way, but for some reason she is singing?
Whitney says she is open to the idea, not because she thinks it is a good idea, but because she doesn't have any other ones.
Then the alcohol starts talking a little more, and Amanda suggests that she can totally get a marriage license online and marry the two of them! OMG! A designer and an officiator? It's like everyone on this show has five hundred careers.
Sara tells us that her wedding with Whitney is none of Amanda's business. "Amanda is bothering the shit out of me," she complains.
Visibly annoyed, Sara tells Amanda, "I'd rather you not do it, but you can still wear a suit. You can still wear a priest outfit as a joke!" Then she walks out the front door to get some air — and Amanda's voice out of her head.
About Sara, Whitney tells Amanda, "She's in a mood." Whitney goes outside to see what is wrong.
Whitney finds Sara outside and tries to get her attention.
"What is wrong with you, dude?" says Whitney.
"Do not grab me!" yells Sara, and then they start fighting. Amanda wanders outside, and at the mere sight of Amanda, Sara walks off and leaves Whitney at the club.
"You can go, Sara! I'll stay! You can go!" Whitney yells after her. "She can go fuck herself, seriously." And since the first "seriously" wasn't serious enough, Whitney says it again, louder. "No, SERIOUSLY!" Because Whitney is serious.
Seriously serious.

(Credit: AP Photo) Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid got his guy early in the offseason, acquiring former 49ers signal caller Alex Smith. It was a match made in heaven for the team that needed a quarterback, and a quarterback that needed a team. Just removed from a surge in his career, Alex Smith was benched in favor or Colin Kaepernick, who took the world by storm. It was the fault of an injury – not poor play that led Smith to the bench, and several coaches knew he still had it. So when it came time for Smith to move on – the Chiefs and Andy Reid took immediate action. Of course many saw what Smith had done in the years previous for the niners, but Andy Reid wanted him long before – when he was still struggling with coaching changes in San Francisco – and tried trading for him multiple times. From Peter King's MMQB: In the New York Times Sunday, he admitted he'd twice tried to trade for Alex Smith while in Philadelphia. He didn't say when, and he told me that while it was true, he didn't remember exactly when it was. Once was around the time the Eagles were in the process of fact-finding on Michael Vick before they signed him. "I just always watched him and thought, 'Man, I'd like to coach that kid,' " Reid said of Smith. It was a good move for the three parties involved. The 49ers got a few picks, Reid got his guy, and Smith has the opportunity to prove a lot of people wrong that didn't think it was a good move. Andy Reid is one of the best at molding a QB, and I'm sure Smith will be just another example of that. As for Reid in KC, he's loving football again, and having fun – a big change from his last few years in Philly. Follow us on Twitter @DownandDistance Down and Distance Editor-in-Chief – Justin Arbogast @NFLGuy_SK The post Andy Reid tried trading for Alex Smith twice while in Philadelphia appeared first on DOWN & DISTANCE - Presented by Sports-Kings.

It's a nationally televised game on ESPN (10:30 pm EST). Actually, this is probably a bad thing for the Wizards.
2 ) It's going to be a close game
- All seven of the Wizards' games in December have been decided by four points or less.
- The Wizards have lost five in a row by a combined margin of 11 points. Dan Steinberg of the DC Sports Bog reports that this is the lowest total five game loss margin in franchise history.
- So, the Wizards have obviously lost their last five by four or fewer points. The last team to do that in a single season was the 1979-80 Knicks. The most consecutive losses by four points or less is set at six games by the 1976-77 Suns.
3 ) Can't go wrong with $1 dollar beer, can you?
There will be a hostile environment like the Arco Arena of the Chris Webber/Vlade Divac/Mike Bibby/Doug Christie days … Cowbells and beer baby, actually, dollar beer.
The Kings are doing a dollar beverage promotion, which includes beer. And as of 2pm on Tuesday, only about 900 tickets remained. However, the packed house of rowdy drunks doesn't exactly make the California chapter of MADD happy.
It's worth noting that in recent times, multiple Kings personnel have been stricken with DUI charges, including former coach Eric Musselman in October 2006 and current player Andres Nocioni just this past November.
With an ownership that's "thrilled" at the idea of legalized gambling on the NBA, would you expect anything less?
4 ) Rook vs. Vet Match-up
Tyreke Evans vs. Gilbert Arenas … 'nuff' said.
5 ) The Kings haven't beaten the Wizards in 1,753 days
The Wizards have beaten Sacramento eight straight times, the longest current winning streak the Wiz have against an opponent and the longest current losing streak the Kings have against an opponent.
The last time the Kings won was on February 27, 2005 in DC. That night, Gilbert Arenas dropped 43 points on 32 shots and 7-11 from three-point land, Kwame Brown had a double-double with 10 and 10, and Steve Blake scored 17 off the bench.
But that couldn't overcome 38 points from Mike Bibby and a paltry seven points (3-15 FGs) and three rebounds from Antawn Jamison. The Kings won 110-108.
6 ) Every Gilbert Arenas shot is an adventure
- 21 NBA players are averaging over 20 points per game this season. Arenas is the only one shooting below 40%.
- In fact, Arenas has attempted the most field-goals (396) out of any player in the NBA currently shooting below 40%.
7 ) Tyreke's attempt to join elite company
Only three rookies in NBA history have averaged 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Evans is trying to become the fourth to do so, and would join LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Oscar Robinson on that elite list.
8 ) Who will start for DC?
Flip Saunders has experimented more with his lineups this season than a mad scientist. Much of it has been due to injury, but a lot of it is him simply searching for a combination that works … which kinda pissed off some vets, as they blamed Flip's substitution patterns for being one of the reasons they lost a 17-point lead to the Clippers on Monday. Really guys?
The Wizards have started 10 different lineups this year, only second to the 11 of the New Jersey Nets.
9 ) Antawn Jamison, the Gentleman Warrior
Jamison has been the only Wizard clearly playing his heart out each and every night. He still, perhaps naively, has championship aspirations. Also, he loves the long ball. Jamison has made at least one three-pointer in each of the last 13 games, one off the current streak of Jared Dudley (14 straight games with a three). Jason Kidd and Steve Nash have also made a three in 13 straight games.
10 ) Limited decision if you're an NBA freak
The only other game that will be on at the time is San Antonio at Golden State. At 12-10, the Spurs aren't doing all that great, but they're certainly doing better than a dysfunctional Warriors team and are favored to win by 5.5, despite a 2-6 record on the road. Also, San Antonio has won eight out of their last 12 while the Warriors have lost seven of eight.
…. Just watch the Wizards-Kings.
Reason +1
I will be discussing the game on ESPN.com's Live Dime Chat. You're welcome to come join me and the other ESPN experts/TrueHoop Network bloggers if you're up.

Not everyone's nutrition needs are identical. As we age, our bodies and metabolism change. Although older adults still need plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and fiber, they need to add or subtract a few things from the diet they followed earlier in life.
Many older adults have a decreased sense of taste and decreased absorption. They need to make sure they get enough water and nutrients, even if they must take supplements to get them.
Although we all should drink eight glasses of water a day, it's critical for older adults to factor in water because they have decreased kidney function and may not feel thirsty.
Adequate water intake helps avoid constipation. Older adults' digestive tracts don't work as effectively as they once did, making constipation more likely, and many older adults have dental problems that keep them from eating as much fiber as they need. Fiber also helps prevent constipation.
Another possible addition to an older adult's diet is a vitamin and mineral supplement. Older adults often don't get enough calcium or vitamin D in their diet, and a lack of either of those can lead to bone loss and osteoporosis. Vitamin B12 is another nutrient that's often found lacking in older adults. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans report that, on average, people over age 50 get adequate vitamin B12 by eating fortified cereals. However, as the body ages, it becomes less able to absorb B12 from foods. B12 is critical for healthy nerve and red blood cells. Vitamin B12 supplements may be taken as a pill, an injection, or a gel applied to the inside of the nose.
You should discuss the issue of supplements with your health care provider. Older adults already purchase more supplements than other age groups. Unfortunately, false advertising leads them to believe that supplements will stop or curb the aging process.
Recent research indicates that many problems associated with the aging process can be slowed with a good diet. So the benefits associated with consuming a balanced, nutrient-rich diet are endless.
One good way to find out what you need in daily nutrition is to visit the USDA website, ChooseMyPlate.gov. The site asks for your age, gender, and level of physical activity to determine your daily caloric needs.
Choose My Plate, based on the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans from the USDA, encourages people to eat a suggested amount from five major food groups each day. The recommended amounts vary based on a person's age, gender, and activity level. If you can't eat the recommended amounts, at least try to eat something from each group each day. Choose lower-fat foods and include vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
The recommendations below are suggested amounts from the Dietary Guidelines based on daily calorie recommendations. Women over 50 should eat between 1,600 and 2,200 calories a day, depending on their activity level; men over 50 should eat between 2,200 and 2,800 calories, depending on their activity level. If you are physically active most days of the week, choose the amount in the middle or on the high end of the recommendation; if you aren't active most days, choose the lower end of the recommended range:
Grains: 5 to 10 ounces. One ounce equals one roll, a slice of bread, or a small muffin; a half cup cooked rice or pasta; or about a cup of ready-to-eat cereal. At least half of the grains you eat should be from whole grains.
Vegetables: 2 to 3.5 cups; include a variety of colors and types.
Fruit: 1.5 to 2.5 cups.
Low-fat or fat-free milk, yogurt, or cheese: 3 cups of milk. One cup of milk equals one cup of yogurt, 1.5 to 2 ounces of cheese, or a half cup of cottage cheese.
Meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, and nuts: 5 to 7 ounces. Equivalent one-ounce servings of lean meat, poultry, or fish are a quarter cup of cooked beans or tofu; 1 egg; half-ounce of nuts or seeds; or 1 tablespoon of peanut butter.
Other tips for good nutrition:
Eat only small amounts of fats, oils, and sweets.
Fruits and vegetables are a real plus for seniors because they are lower in calories than other foods, yet high in nutrients, Fruit is much healthier for dessert than cookies or cake; yet many older adults indulge their sweet tooth with sugary treats rather than fresh fruit.
Some older adults have trouble getting adequate nutrition because of health problems or financial difficulties. If these are problems that affect you, there are steps you can take to ease them.
If you have trouble chewing, you might not be able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, or meat. Instead, you might try the following ideas, from the FDA:
Instead of fresh fruit, try fruit juices or canned fruits, such as peaches or pears that are canned in juice, not syrup,
Instead of raw vegetables, try vegetable juices or cooked and mashed vegetables.
Instead of a chunk of meat, try ground meat, or protein alternatives, such as eggs, milk, cheese, and yogurt.
Instead of sliced bread, try cooked cereals, rice, and bread pudding.
If certain foods give you gas, try these alternatives:
Low-fat cream soups, pudding, yogurt, and cheese can take the place of milk. Lactose-free dairy products may also help prevent gas.
Green beans, carrots, and potatoes can take the place of broccoli and cabbage.
Fruit juices and canned fruits can take the place of fresh fruit. The same is true for juice and canned vegetables.
If you can't shop or cook for yourself, you can make other arrangements. Some groceries will deliver food at no charge; others charge a fee. A family member, friend, or church or synagogue group may be able to help with shopping. A senior citizen program in your area may deliver meals. You can use the microwave to cook already-prepared meals. You might consider moving to a place where meals are prepared for you--either with a family member or a senior citizens' center. Eating with other people also is a good way to encourage your appetite; eating alone can be lonely.
If money is a problem, here are some suggestions from the FDA:
Buy low-cost foods such as dried beans and peas, rice, and pasta.
Use coupons to save money on food.
Look for sales and store-brand foods, which often cost less.
Check with your church or synagogue to see if it offers free or low-cost meals.
Call a local senior citizen program about meal programs. You may be able to eat there or have meals brought to your home.
Find out if there is a Meals-on-Wheels program near you.
Get food stamps. The food stamp office is listed under your county government in the phone book.
No matter what your age, it's important to treat food carefully to avoid foodborne illness. As you age, your sense of taste or smell may not always be able to tell you when a food is no longer fit to eat--when milk has soured or meat has spoiled. Your senses may be affected by medication that you take or by illness.
Your stomach also produces less acid. Stomach acid is a natural defense against bacteria you might have eaten. Your immune system also may not be as strong as it once was, making it more difficult to fight bacteria.
Here are food safety tips from the FDA:
Refrigerate or freeze all perishable food. Your refrigerator should be kept at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or 4 degrees Celsius and your freezer at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or -18 degrees Celsius.
Never thaw foods at room temperature. Instead, thaw them in the refrigerator, in cold water, or in the microwave, and cook them immediately.
Wash your hands with soapy water before preparing food. Wash your hands, utensils, cutting boards, and other work surfaces after they come in contact with raw meat and poultry.
Never leave perishable food out of the refrigerator for more than two hours. If the temperature in the room is over 90 degrees Fahrenheit or 32 degrees Celsius, the food shouldn't be left out for more than one hour.
Thoroughly cook raw meat, poultry, and fish.

This year the 28th April to the 4th May was National MS week. A whole week dedicated to raising awareness about MS.
26th April – MS Life
For me it started on Saturday 26th April with MS life. Avid readers of this blog will no doubt recall I wrote about this back in 2012. For less avid readers or new visitors you should check it out (Post 21 The MS Convention).
MS Life can best be described as a big old get together for people with MS. That isn't to say it's exclusive nor that proof of diagnosis is required by big burly bouncers on the way in … 'if you've not got at least one numb limb you're not coming in …' After all us MS-ers are a pretty friendly bunch.
But I can't imagine why anyone without MS nor supporting someone who does have MS would want to go. That would be like me going to a Star Wars or classic car convention … I just wouldn't be interested. So it would seem that out of the couples and small groups of people there it would be safe to assume that at least one of them has MS and that the others were there to lend support. But then again who knows, who am I to say what constitutes a good day out.
The main purpose of the event is to share information. For research scientists to explain their work and what they hope to acheive. For medical practitioners to offer help and guidance. For manufacturers to demonstrate their products. For fellow people with MS to share their experiences.
A whole big circle of information, like a file sharing website dedicated to MS.
Last time I went to MS life it made me sad. It was like giant slap round the head with a mobility scooter. A moment of realisation. A big fat dose of reality. Of the future as it could be. This time was a much more positive experience. Maybe it was because I knew what to expect. Maybe it was because mentally I am in a much better place than I was in 2012. Or maybe it was because I had the two people I love the most in the world by my side. Whatever it was I felt positive. I laughed with the guys demonstrating the motorbike like attachment that turned their normal wheelchairs into speed-demon-wheelz. I chatted with the lady from the MS Therapy Centre in Trafford Park of all places. And best of all I met a friend I had met through Twitter, through us both having MS.
Maybe it wasn't so bad afterall.
28th April – New Magazine
As part of MS week 'New' magazine were doing a feature on women living with MS.
The MS Trust contacted me having read my blog and asked if I would be willing to take part. I have always been quite open about having MS – afterall I write this blog -so I didn't really have any reservations about it. I was interviewed at length over the telephone. I was asked about my diagnosis, my symptoms and about my life during a friendly chat with the journalist who was writing the feature. They even arranged for a photographer to visit us at home and take some photos. Very celeb- like! It was a lovely sunny day when he came and we went to the park. I don't like having my photograph taken and so posing next to a tree with lights poised in the undergrowth didn't come naturally to me. Having said that I was really pleased with the results and Raffaele was undoubtedly the star of the photo-show.
It was just a shame they didn't also send along a hair and makeup team. And a rail of designer sample garments for me it chose from. And a pair of killer Louboutins … But hey ho, there's always next year.
2nd May MS Society Cake Break
For the past year or so the MS Society have been running a 'Cake Break' campaign. The idea is that people hold a cake sale / coffee morning to raise money to help fund the work done by the charity. This seems to be a really popular idea at the moment especially given the recent upsurgence in baking.
My friend Wendy and I decided that we would hold a Cake Break in our office. This was a particularly good idea as Wendy just so happens to be an amazing baker. My friend Neil had just completed the London Marathon for the second time for the MS Society and I thought it would be a good way to add to his fundraising without having to actually run anywhere…
We decided on 2nd May pretty much my chance. We were going to hold it sooner but dates had already been snapped up by other charitable endeavours at work and so we settled on 2nd May. We didn't realise it was MS week at the time but in the end it worked out to be a great end to the week.
We got several volunteers to bake and numerous customers who selflessly rose to the challenge and polished off the lot for £1 a slice. The fact that we raised £250 goes to show just how much cake was consumed that day.
My running days might be over owing to my wobbly-MS leg but to be honest I was never any good at it anyway. I'm still a pretty good cake-maker. And an even better cake-eater. And anyway, if you can't do it in heels then it probably wasn't worth doing in the first place ;)

Calorie Counting When Eating Out
- by Jake Kuchero
No longer are the days of being able to consume that fast food meal or a couple of slices of pizza without being aware of the nutrition content. Many Americans enjoy engaging in their guilty pleasure outside of their diet without wanting to know how many extra calories they are consuming. The Food and Drug administration is now issuing a policy where the amount of calories must be posted to consumers in some restaurants, convenient stores, and even movie theaters.
Chain restaurants that have more than 20 locations are now required to post the calorie content on their menu. Even pizza places are faced with the extra task of determining the amount of calories in their pies. However, due to the various amount of calories within the different pizzas, they are given the okay to do it per slice.
The reason behind this change is due to the fact that nearly one third of an American's calorie content is consumed out of the house, according to Margaret A. Hamburg. This will allow consumers to be aware of the calories they eat and be able to stick to their limits. This idea will go beyond just restaurants and convenience stores, but also to prepared goods inside supermarkets or even vending machines.
The question becomes whether or not this tactic will work. According to studies, it is shown that only about 30 percent pay attention to calories posted on menu boards. However, those that do pay attention will be able to see the calories that are packed into their favorite indulgence, such as a Frappaccino from Starbucks. Specialists Dave and Brit Morin say that this requirement is also in hopes that more restaurants will create options that are healthier and contain fewer calories.
