Wasn't there a "Big lemon caper"?

I am confused, oh maybe it's the lemon and Sobieski!

Have been told in the past that it has to do with disease, but like most things here it makes no sense...

I gotta know why???!!!Having eaten the football shaped lemons most of my life and now I have 4 trees producing creole lemons, why would you want the yellow ones.
I find the little lemons are much tastier....in juice, rum and coke???
Whats up Mike?

On a similar instance, anybody know where you can buy fresh milk, similar to what you can buy in Fl or the UK supermarkets in gallon or half gallon bottles. I have tried La Sirena and NAtional and all they have is the cartons of UHT milk which are out of the dairy cold shelf area and so sweet it would make your teeth cringe.

I am looking for something resembling McArthurs 2% or standard cows milk. HELP!

Rica produces fresh milk in red, white and blue 1 litre tetrapaks - if your supermarket stocks it you'll find it in the fridge section - I stopped buying it after finding it had gone off even before the expiry date, probably because of erratic refrigeration practices.

If you're anywhere near Santiago take a trip to Turay in Bonao. Worth the trip for everything dairy.
