One neat thing about that milk bottle being dropped off onto the doorstep each morning by the milkman was that on cold mornings, the milk would start to freeze. This would cause the frozen cream which had floated to the top to rise up from the bottle, lifting that little paper cap still sitting on top of that column of truly ICECREAM in the literal meaning of those two syllables. It protruded far enough up above the bottle top for the cat to get the "cream of the crop" by licking that ice column.

The good part of un-homoginized milk was that the cream, by rising to the top, could be skimmed off, and saved separately for those places where cream was called for, as for adding to coffee. The rest of the milk was essentially skim, because its cream had risen and been removed.

The cat preferred the cream anyhow. Having gotten first crack at it, he got the choice parts.

We had to use the cat's leftovers...
