Okay, I know this is going to sound whiny, but I am really missing milk. We've tried milk from boxes that don't require refrigeration, milk in a plastic pouches, soy milk, even powdered milk stirred up and refrigerated, Nothing quite cuts it. I thought after a month or so I would forget what a really great cold glass of milk tastes like and become accustomed to the milk here. I guess it might take a little longer than a month.

Did you try the Nido brand stuff yet? It's the best I could do in Argentina. Maybe you could find a dairy and buy it directly from there. But then it would be fatty whole milk and wouldn't be pasteurized but it would be real milk. Sorry, I don't even like milk that much but I know you do. Oh well, three years will go fast and then if you can still afford milk when you get back to the states then you can have some!

That is sad, because I know that you truly do love milk. Doesn't anybody have any cows there?

Even though I don't drink milk that much, I know I would miss it too. There are just some things you have to have milk with. Val, when he was in Russia, got used to the kind that sits on the shelf that doesn't need to be refrigerated. I never tasted it, but it sounds a liitle weird. Hang in there!

I too like a full glass of milk every day, especially after a plate full of peanut butter...right? Or even after a brownie, cookies, cake, pancakes....this could go on and on. I am sorry about the milk situation. I couldn't bring myself to drinking milk from the cupboard. No Way!

Jenny says that lots of country's have that kind of milk. Just not the USA. Yea for the USA, but maybe it's made us too spoiled to make ourselves like it. Not for me, I'd say.

We go though tons of milk. My boys LOVE it, so I can see how sad this would be. I was telling this to Layne and he has that trouble in Japan too. I like Becca's idea. Finding a dairy or a farm with a cow.

that's not whiney.
that's sad.
I'm sorry.
(but I wonder if you're getting repaid for trying to trick me into drinking goat milk that time I was at your house.....)
