My neighbour went on holiday and gave me two pints of milk and I forgot to cancel my own delivery today - result is 5 pints of milk for only 3 of us.

I usually make a lasagne as the white sauce uses a lot.

Any other ideas?

Give it to another neighbour who might be a bit strapped for cash.

Milk lasts a week. So easier to just cancel the rest of the week or find a teenager who likes huge bowls of cornflakes.

If it's glass bottles and you decide to freeze it make sure you pour a bit out of each bottle first into a plastic container so they don't overflow when the freezing expands the Milk.

To be honest I'd go for a lovely rice pudding or a bread and butter pudding.

Or do bread and butter pudding but use croissants instead of bread and instead of the custardyness make a caramel one with some sugar in some boiling water and then add milk and eggs. Lovely.

Thanks for your suggestions. I am going to make a lasagne tonight and make a bread & butter pudding tomorrow or whatever you call the savoury one. My daughter has made a chocolate milk sort of shake so should be ok now.

I usually avoid milky things as it makes me sniffy
but I don't like to waste the poor cow's hard work. Or is it cows' work?

Flan instant mix pudding aka milk jello.

Regular fruit jello works as well.

Almost jello also an option.

Drink it, pretend it's Michelle Keegan's !
Or distribute it to neighbours - when's the use-by date ?
