They didn't believe me in the office when I said this is how we used to eat our cereal as kids in Canada. There were even perforations for you to cut along in case you couldn't figure out this pattern on your own. Yum, yum, no need for a bowl! All you need is some milk, scissors and a spoon to have your cereal. You can even do these with regular sized boxes if you are really hungry! So I showed the disbelievers and enjoyed my Kellogg's coco puffs a la carton.

Am bacck!
(Mr. Freeze - freezies)
Apologies bloggies, I had the Dolce family in town this week and it was a full on week of eating, drinking, sightseeing and enjoying the glorious London sunshine. Not London Ontario, London England! Yes, that is correct Mother Nature was very kind to bring sunny and warm weather for almost the whole week! I was as shocked as you probably are reading this. One day it rained and was like 'proper' British summer so they did get the full London experience.
Lots to blog about foodie wise - one observation: having little kiddies around means you need to feed them constantly and their eating habits are sometimes peculiar. I think the highlight for them was the copious amounts of ice cream we had each day in various formats. Luckily I had a box of freezies, the Canadian term for an ice lolly, in the freezer which kept them calm for at least 3 minutes each day. The rest of the day from 7am til their bedtime of 9pm (it really should be 7.30-8pm, but they were too excited to sleep) was filled with constant action and they both didn't take naps! Again, much respect goes to parents everywhere. It is tough work!
I never bought so much milk in my life, these kids drink a lot of milk in the morning and at bed time. Well am going to miss them dearly but it was fantastic and will cherish all the fun we had, there are some great memories to stash away (and lots of photos!).
So back on track this week with blogging and foodie-stuffs!

Bags o' Milk
Canadian Milk: This is the way you buy your milk in Canada in 4 - 1L bags which you place in these plastic containers to serve. They also sell it in regular cartons, like you would buy Tropicana juice in. 
British Milk: In the UK many offices and homes still get delivery of little milk bottles each day, see the below pics. They are cute little glass bottles and are very fresh as the milk man leaves them outside your door.
Or they are sold in these plastic bottles of varying sizes. I like buying the little ones as they take up less space and I only use a little milk for my coffee or tea.

Milk at last
The lovely PR, Chris, from Lactofree sent me some vouchers so I can drink milk again. Yay! It tastes great and am loving drinking milk again. Only problem is that it is not sold at my local grocery store so needed to go to Selfridges to get this carton. Hopefully Tesco will start selling it soon but I don't mind going to Selfridges as there is always something interesting to look at there. Thanks Lacto-free people!
Check out their website for more info. http://www.lactofree.co.uk
There is news, advice and more information about lactose intolerance and Lactofree milk. There is even a community hub and a guide to restaurants that cater for lactose-intolerant people, making it easier for them to choose where they eat out in the UK. How helpful!

What to do with half a bag of almost rotten carrots?
Like Clara says, 'it's just wrong to let things go to waste,' but.... she believes that to be true with Guiness Beer but doesn't eat leftovers?! Go figure.
Anyhow thinking about her words I decided to make something with the half bag of almost rotten carrots in the fridge. What to do? Nothing too fancy, threw them in a pot with boiling water a whole onion and a few potatoes and some garlic and voila some soup for the chillier nights that are approaching. I added an organic stock cube and lots of chili pepper and salt and ground black pepper. Once it was a little cool, I threw it in the blender and voila I will have soup for dinner the next few nights -although I am out each evening for the next few nights so those carrots may have been cooked in vain :)
And read on Wiki yesterday that almost 70% of Sicilans and descendants from the Mediterranean are lactose intolerant (LI) in comaprison with 5-10% percent of northern Europeans and Americans. All of this new LI info is fascinating.
Come to think of it I never saw my grandparents drinking milk or having cereal...I think my grandfather drank goats milk while he was making his cheese on the farm but that may be it...will have to check with the aunties and uncles about their milk consumption. Giovanna - does your mother drink milk?
