COLD Milk

At home (U.S.), it's not so hard to have a refreshing glass of cold milk once in a while. Here, it's a little bit more difficult. The milk usually comes in a small box/carton, but it's kept outside of the refridgerator, on the counter. Even in the grocery stores they just sell tons on the shelves. I'm assuming this is totally sanitary because everyone drinks it here, and I've now had it many many times and feel fine.

But anyways, occasionally my family actually puts the milk in the fridge, and I take full advantage by having a glass of it.... yummm. Like today, I was given chocolate cake, and so I hoped oh so very much that there would be cold milk, and there was! Yay host fam, good job today :)

Also, sometimes it's difficult because there is also milk that comes in bags (It's cheaper I think). So they sometimes buy that and it's always in the fridge, but I can't cut the bag open and drink it because then you can't just put it back without it spilling everywhere. I think one time Ellie (our maid) put the rest in a pitcher after opening it, but i don't really want to go exploring through the kitchen for pitchers. Oh well, the milk-in-a-bag will just have to sit there taunting me with it's inaccessible coldness and deliciousness...
