KRISE / CHRISIS

Mr Skrik (skream) is reprecenting me and my feelings this time..:

I need help! check this out. IT IS ALMOAST EMPTY!!!

I had two of these with me, but now they are almost empty. That is bad news to a chocoholic.. And even though the members of the family, (animals, and or whatever we are) know that this is very important substance to daddy, some mice (Mus) has been eating from it!?!?  What right does it have??

So; mamma send mer sjokolade!

They sadly don't know what chocolate is down here.. They have one substitute though.. Snikkers. That's it..

The "food issue" down here while we've been here has gone pretty good for the majority of us. That is we had some challenges with Mr V in the beginning, especially when we are eating out. He isn't getting what he is used to so, he looks at the new things we try to offer him and often he don’t want to taste at all. If we have ordered some food that includes French fries (without us knowing) on the side, he eats the French fries like he's never seen food before and stops eating when there is no more left of them. Sometimes I feel a bit of frustration over this, don’t like him to just eat those unhealthy things. But luckily he is very in to the great fruit they have to offer here. And that is really good too, we all just love it! We have all sorts of exotic fruit back at home too, but it just isn't the same. While we are "talking" about fruit, just down our street, about 100 meters, there are this small tienda that sells the best orange juice I’ve ever had! The ones I've tried down here before might have been equally good but a taste is hard to remember after few years. Anyway, we have one in Norway that is supposed to be pressed and delivered with no added water or so that is called Tropicana. That one i quite good, but can't compete with this one at all. It is just fantastic!! Delicioso! We all love it.

This is it! 1 liter costs 13-14 Nkr.. quite cheap too! 

There are some things that we miss regarding food down here. Some basics like bread and milk. The bread the sell here is just light bread, or that brand BIMBO. All of their bread even if they are a bit dark still feels like really soft and light bread. Really bad stuff!! So last week we took the boat over to the main land, Cancun to by some good bread. And we got it too! So now we have a little storage in our freezer for needy times. I actually baked a banana bread here one day too, that became quite good. And we have found a cafe that sell banana bread too, and that one is really good! So I often find myself walking by there..!? Wonder why..?

And the milk issue.. The milk you can buy here isn't standing in cooling rooms, and they last several months ahead.. That's just wrong to a fresh milk lover like me.. But thanks to the great orange juice, I have a good substitute. Mr V seems to like this milk so we get by.

I can't get myself to eat it.. The anxiety of not having any left is greater than the urge to eat it…           I definitely got problems.

And another "funny" thing.. I just received an e-mail from my father in Thailand who had read about my problem. Look what that "funny" fellow sent me, a picture from he's own fridge.
