Jug
A container from which eases the pouring of liquid. Show us your jugs! A-hem.

So weird. I was looking for water jugs for today's prompt but could not find anything. So here's my jug - a milk jug. Fresh milk is in demand in our home. It's gone down considerably since I stopped giving milk to DD1 in her sippy cup. I told her that she's a big girl now and needs to drink it from a real cup. Still, we go through about 2 gallons of milk every week and a half. I'm projecting that next year, we'll be up to 4 gallons a week once DD3 starts on whole milk instead of baby formula/breastmilk. That's where we were at last year.
Now, I'm not complaining about their milk consumption. In fact, I encourage it. Growing up, I was not much a milk drinker. Fresh milk was hard to come by in our place. We were given powdered milk mixed in water. I still recoil at the recollection of the taste and texture. Not something I enjoyed at all. I don't think my parents were milk drinkers either. They were, and still are big coffee drinkers, for sure. And nothing of the instant coffee types for them too. Only fresh-brewed coffee with bold robust flavor! I grew up loving coffee because I was exposed to it so much. Several years ago, some friends gifted my Dad with an espresso machine. He was very excited about that "toy" but I don't think they got it working at once because no one knew how to use it. LOL. It was too complicated I think. If I remember correctly, it was DH who got it working when we were there for a visit. DH is quite handy with gadgets and stuff. My Dad, not so much.
