I miss milk...

OMG I really REALLY want a bowl of cereal and cold 1% milk and french toast. Ummm beautiful, beautiful cereal and lovely milk, which I could eat all day, morning, noon and night! No one eats cereal here...or drinks cold milk...or knows about french toast. On another note...can someone please explain to me, how it is possible that milk can stay out all day, and no one refrigerates it ... and yet it is still good?? Why don´t we have that in the US, so much easier! At first I was a little leery about trying it (and still am) ... but it seems okay ... just tastes a little funny. Why are eggs okay to sit on the shelf all day SIN REFRIGERATION? I don´t think I will ever understand....or lose my intense milk cravings!
