The Whole Milk Powder Catastrophe

Today, Sena reconstituted the Hoosier Hill Farm Whole Milk Powder. At one point in the mixing process, it reminded me of Ready-Mix concrete. She made enough for a quart of finished product, which won’t make even one sidewalk square but whatever.

I suppose this is one of the three things we could list as being ordinary accomplishments for Day 2 of Mental Health Month.

May is Mental Health Month 2026

I think the other thing is connected to a song I heard last night on the Big Mo Blues Show. I’m pretty sure it was last night although it wasn’t on the list of tunes played. The song is by Popa Chubby, “One leg at a time.” Frankly, about the only line I understood is “put your pants on one leg at a time.” So, I did that this morning. It’s not trivial and the saying is old. It just means we’re no better than anyone else on this planet—still gotta put pants on one leg at a time.

I guess the third thing will have to be something I get an “A” for effort—or maybe a “C”. I’ve always wondered how football players do a certain celebrity dance after a big play which looks cool. I had a little trouble finding it on the internet because I didn’t know the name of it. It’s called the Griddy. The guy in the video is the creator of it.

  1. Interesting experiment! When I was in the Peace Corps – I lived for 2.5 years without a refrigerator in equatorial Africa (but at altitude). I came to like powdered milk and VHT (very high temperature) milk. The VHT was whole milk heated to a very high temp so it could be stored warm and not spoil. They sold it in a “tetrapack” or a pint sized pyramid shaped package. I have not checked it out but I imagine powdered milk is in the bunker of every doomsday prepper. Have you figured out why it turned into concrete? I always used Carnation or Nestle brand and it mixed well.
