Straight from the Farmer

A few weeks ago, during one of my runs, I discovered a farmer just outside of town that sells his milk, eggs, yogurt, honey, and potatoes right out of the barn. I had intended to go back the next day to get fresh-from-the-cow milk and laid-that-morning eggs, but life got in the way (broken finger, snow, travels, etc.).I finally made it back this morning to purchase my weekly dairy products. For only €3.50 I got a liter of fresh milk, a liter of homemade yogurt, and 10 eggs (no such thing as dozen over here). I had the yogurt in my Honey Hoops (or Honey Nut Cheerios - the cereals all have different names over here, even though they are the same thing and the same brand) this morning and it was delicious!
When we are done, I will clean the bottles out and bring them back next Monday to be refilled.

Wondering on a Wednesday

I am sure you can imagine my surprise when I discovered the eggs at the grocery store on the cereal isle and the milk mixed in with the juice.


Hmmm....

Since eggs, milk, and cheese are not stored in the refrigerator at the grocery store, do they need to be refrigerated at your house?

It there something different about the eggs, milk, and cheese over here that they do not require refrigeration?
