Coco Puffs and Milk; You Can't Go Wrong There!

Actually, you can go wrong with coco puffs and milk. How, you might ask? Well, you can put the coco puffs in hot milk. Yes, that's right. Milk that was warmed up on the stove and wasn't just lukewarm, but was actually hot. Now, I could handle warm milk with cereal I think. But when you put hot milk with chocolate cereal and then let it sit for like 5-10 minutes while you get the rest of breakfast together, that totally changes things. That was breakfast this morning, along with bread, cheese, butter, salami ham slice things, yogurt (that was pretty liquidy) and I think that was it. Add that to the massive sausage and mashed potatoes for lunch (with soup and bread of course), and we're 2 for 2 on interesting meals for the day! Becky was trying to explain how people here don't really do cold things, like ice because there's a fear that it will lead to sore throats and sickness (or something like that). I can only assume that is why or part of the reason why everything (e.g., coke, milk, water) is typically warm. The soda isn't even kept in the refrigerator in most cases. What is even funnier is the fact that Feli (the house mom) wants to wait until later in the day when the water in the temporary pool is warmer to let the kids swim. I'm like "the cool water would feel so good!" but they still wait for the sun to warm it up a bit.

All for now... we're all about to head out to Rogova for the afternoon/night!
