fiftytwothousand.com giveaway!
Good morning Frillows! It’s Giveaway Friday and I’m showcasing my college friend and very talented artist Mark Moskovitz’s dessert plates. The plates were originally conceived as a tongue in cheek reference to keeping kosher with the words “meat” and “dairy” inscribed on them. For today’s giveaway two winners will each receive a set of four dessert plates. One winner for the “milk it” set and one winner for the “lactose intolerant” set.
So here’s what you need to do to win: In the comments section below, first tell me which set you like (lactose or milk it) and next I want you to share a milk story. It could be how you “milked” a situation or maybe what your favorite thing is to dip in milk. I’ve gotta go with an Oreo cookie on this one! The giveaway ends Sunday May 17th at midnight! See more from Mark at his webshop Fiftytwothousand.

I like the lactose intolerant ones. I guess I never thought about it, but I do have a favorite milk related story. Weird. When my brother was a freshman in high school and I was a senior, we used to come home from our respective nights out (we had the same curfew at that point, which is clearly BS but a different story). Anyway, Josh would make himself a glass of Nestle Quik chocolate milk and sit across from me and I would try to make him laugh when he took big sips. I would say that no less than 10 times I was able to get him to snort chocolate milk out of his nose. It’s a talent.

I love the Milk it plate. I do prefer the red to the blue. My favorite milk story is while I’m at my cousin’s wedding cutting the wedding cake, my three year old neice comes up to a friend of the family and says “does it (the cake) have milk in it?”. The friend says “yes, isn’t she the smartest”. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that my neice is allergic to milk and knows to ask about everything. She bragged about her all night. I know its weird, but I love milk with really salty potato chips.

Weird, Mandy. I was thinking that i would talk about milk squirting out of Josh’s nose. Hmmmm…Oh. I like the milk plates….because of the song milky cereal, baby. If I win them…I will sing the song each time I take them out to serve dessert.

I like the Lactose Intolerant plate! Pure funny since everyone I know these days seems to be lactose intolerant. Actually, I am not a fan of milk at all. It kinda grosses me out. Perhaps I’m Milk Intolerant!
I’m not sure when the last time I bought milk was … This isn’t really a milk story, but my childhood friend would eat her cake in a bowl of milk. I’ve always thought that was weird. Pizza and milk, I never understood that either.

I like the “Milk It” plate, maybe because I am days away from giving birth and becoming a milk machine myself.
This is not my favorite milk story (of which I have sooooo many), actually it is kind of a disgusting milk story. I would say it is my most recent milk “incident”.
Yesterday my 18 old wanders up to me and after taking a BIG GULP from his sippy cup hands it to me and says “milk” and does the “milk” sign simultaneously. So proud was I of my little talking/signing boy that I only fleetingly wondered where that cup of milk came from, as I didn’t remember giving to him. Time goes by, he asks for the milk back, I give it to him, he drinks and THEN I wonder again about where that cup mysteriously came from. Yea, you know what’s coming, right? I took the top off and was instantly assualted by the smell of old, warm, lumpy, curtled milk. Bad Mommy. The kid’s fine though…and definately not Lactose Intolerant.

Milk it! Because I love anything blue! AND I love milk…I can drink it by the gallon. With cereal, cookies, or a square of chocolate (or two or three!)

Lactose intolerant… I like the blue and it will remind me to make delicious things for my poor lactose intolerant friends.
Now on the the story… My mum has started making her own cheese in the last few years. Last time we visited Australia, after a 13 hour flight, 2 hr flight and 1 hr car ride we walked in the door, put our bags down and Mum immediately presented us with about 6 cheeses to try. They were delicious.
My particularly city minded husband decided to try his hand at milking my Mum’s cow. I think he achieved about 3 squirts and gave up when the first 2 landed outside the pail and the third hit him in the face!

I like Milk It and would be happy to use the plates when serving yummy goodies to my four grandchildren. This “Bamma” still can bake. My milk story was, rather, a critique delivered by my number three daughter when she was about 3. Having just taken a large swig of her lunchtime milk she announced, “This milk tastes like it came from cows with dirty feet!” Now, where does a mother go from there…..after she has stopped laughing?

I love the Milk it one! I have to say, my favorite way milk comes is in the form of ice cream, specifically milkshakes, and more specifically chocolate! You know the best thing to dip in a milkshake? A salty french fry. It’s the perfect balance of salty/sweet, hot/cold, creamy/crunchy…..YUM!

Love it Lark! I personally feel connected to the lactose intolerant plate. Julia is in fact lactose intolerant and I am reminded daily, the poor thing! Not pleasant, but she will “spit up” (in the nicest terms) if she ingests milk. So we have a close relationship with the milk thing. She would look so cute eating off that plate.

I love the ‘milk it’ plates! I grew up in a nonfat milk household, so every time I would go for a sleepover at my grandma’s I would be in heaven. Not only would I get spoiled by my grandma, I would also get WHOLE FAT milk! I would drink it with a spoon just like an ice cream sundae. It was so creamy and delicious! So, if I was luckiest to get the ‘milk it’ plates, I would definitely serve them with whole fat milk!

They used to call me milkshake because I was always shaking things up. Now, sadly, my wife doesn’t allow me to have any milk beyond 2%, so they just call me lowfat. If I got the ‘milk it’ plates, I might get my jiggle back.

I LOVE the “lactose intolerant” plates! You would think I was lactose intolerant due to the lack of real milk in my fridge. Actually, so not the case. I used to drink milk all the time, esp at dinner with my mom’s meatloaf or city chicken (don’t ask what that really is). But now, since my lovely husband does all of the grocery shopping, I am banished to the land of soy – as he so sweetly puts it “Milk is gross!”. Oh, how I long for a glass of ice cold milk! Maybe a nice set of “his and hers” plates should belong in my house: Milk It for me and Lactose Intolerant for Mr. Soy Boy!

I’m a big fan of milk with spaghetti. There’s just something about it that reminds me of my childhood and now I literally can’t eat spaghetti w/o a big, cold glass.
Also, my dad was raised on a dairy farm so I truly come from MILK family and therefore grew up drinking whole milk. I still can’t drink anything less than 2%.
All this being said … definitely MILK IT for me!

I am not happy that both Mandy and Ali took the milk coming out of Josh’s nose stories, but those are the good ones! I also missed the deadline for the giveaway – oops! Cute plates though!
I really hate milk to be perfectly honest… not even to dip a cookie in!
