Milkula, or F75

We've been trying Ellie on Milk-ula, which is a blend of 75% formula and 25% milk. She seems to like it better than straight formula, which is really nasty.

I'm also calling it F75 in honor of E85. Fortunately, it's easier to get F75 than E85. But F75 costs a lot more - organic whole milk is about $6 per gallon, and formula is about $14 a gallon. (Forget about diapers; formula is the real expense.) So a 4-oz bottle of milkula is about 38 cents. Four oz of E85, at the latest price I saw around here, is about 6 cents.

Not that anybody really cares about the relative prices of F75 and E85.
