The Milkman


Nearly everyday the milkman comes. He is a pleasant, smiling man on a small moped. The moped is loaded with containers of fresh milk. Stopping at each house, the moped is parked, and he pours milk into the jug that is offered as the container. There appears to be a variety of milks offered, but I'm not sure exactly which. I suspect that there is cow's milk and goat's milk. There is no chocolate or strawberry milk. I do know that the buffalo milk that we make the curd from is being bought by our cook in this picture. Talk about local. The milk is not refrigerated, as no one has refrigerators here, unless you are MSF, and we have two small ones. There is no pasteurization, per se. The milk is fresh from the source.
