Skim milk

I haven't had whole milk in a long time. I don't remember when I started drinking 2% and then non-fat milk, but I now have a hard time drinking whole milk.

The last time I was in Taiwan (almost 10 years ago), I stayed with an uncle. The first morning I was severely jetlagged and walked down the unfamiliar concrete steps into the kitchen for breakfast. He offered me cereal and milk. I took a spoonful of cereal; the milk dripped from the spoon in silken threads. I had never had milk so rich. But I was guest, and so I smiled, thanked him for his hospitality, and slowly ate my meal. Posted by eku at March 10, 2004 3:24 PM
