got milk?

They don't here. At least not the kind of milk that we are used to. You know, cold, in a gallon jug, good ole' cow's milk. Here, milk is shelf stable and comes in a one liter box with a plastic flip open lid. It is not all milk or real milk but a milk product, a product of Australia, called "Paul's Milk". Scary. I finally found some different real milk that was twice the price, about $3.00/liter, in the same type box, and again, not refrigerated. I was so excited about the find that I bought four boxes at once. Turns out, it's not much better. In fact, Kim likes it less than Paul's Milk. I think she's just partial to the name. I chug down what I can each morning so that I get my vitamin D. The true milk expert is, of course, Sydny. She likes neither very much. Every time we make her daily chocolate milk, she complains that it doesn't taste very good. So, in addition to not eating very good, she's not even getting her daily dose of chocolate milk. Poor girl. She used to love chocolate milk. Baby brother has not been the only change in her life. Thank God for simple pleasures in life like fresh, cold cow's milk, maybe with a little Hershey's chocolate added in.
