Oh, if it is chocolate cake, then the "ice cold whole milk" is for
sure, and I wouldn't eat the cake without it. I've never been in a
nuthouse, but it's nice to know that they serve the patients milk.
Cookies should also be served with milk and coffee as choices, but
especially milk. Anyone who thinks that milk is unsuitable for adults
(except those who are intolerant or low-carbing) is nuts.
