The Kuwaiti Customs strike has perfect timing with my monthly case of PMS! All I want is a giant glass of cold, fresh milk and an enormous amount of Oreo cookies. I can't have Oreo’s without milk because it's a major sin if you don't dunk them in ice cold, fresh milk until part of the cookie floats off. At least in my religion it is and YES, you can look it up!
It's bad enough that you can't 'legally' drink alcohol in Kuwait and now there is no fresh milk to be found. I can just see the illegal cows in back alleys producing illegal black market fresh milk for 50KD a pint.
I know that some of you will recommend that I just drink the long life milk that's made from powder. Well that stuff is bad for you and tastes nasty compared to the real thing. I mean, if you ran out of refreshing coke would you suddenly start using the powder form? (Okay, I know some of you would. ;)
If you love me and want me to make it through the next week please help me get my hands on some fresh milk. Like if you're a Kuwaiti dairy farmer, call me...hook me up! "HRT" will model a milk mustache for you with nothing else on. ;P
STOP the MILK MADNESS!!!

oh yes! me too I hate that long life milk! I also have a important package or two stuck with them. when the hell does the strike end!!
ReplyDeleteAs a 'famous' chef, you must be going crazy without the fresh ingredients for your amazing recipes. I hope the strike ends soon. :)
DeleteThe Customs should have gone on a hunger strike instead. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! I Love the way you think! :P
DeleteThey should just pay them and get it done with! Or better yet - why not do a study on the cost of living in Kuwait, the salaries in the private sector, and give government salary increases (and/or adjustments) based on all that PLUS merit/job performance?
ReplyDeleteFresh milk - ya know, fresh camel milk is still available on the market and very very good for you.
Camel milk has side effects that I won't mention but it starts with camel. Heehee ;)
DeleteI refuse to drink KDD milk and I believe the stuff would survive a nuclear holocaust. I have my bag packed which I will fill with fresh fruit and vegetables (better and cheaper than here) from the UAE and plan to fill a freezer bag full of milk from duty free. And if Kuwait customs hassles me, they will wear a white mustache! and I prefer they stay dressed. There obviously was no back-up plan from the government side.
ReplyDeleteI had a visit from the Dairy Fairy when I returned home from work. See next post. :)
DeleteI have a feeling that you're going to post about Nestlé's chocolate chip cookies dipped in ice cold milk :p
