. It’s been very mild but I’ve got to the point where I absolutely can’t drink milk anymore. I can only eat kidogo cheese, na vile napenda cheese. I used to grate cheese in everything.. mkate, rice, spaghetti ama I eat it raw. I even went to Brown’s Cheese factory a few years ago to sample their cheese… Si tulikula cheese wewe! Milkshake is out , yorghut is out, lakini pizza bado iko ndani thankfully… phewks!

Anyway, back to milk. I love milk. I could drink a whole packet of milk kwanza ile baridi ya fridge. Sema health manenoz… My tea has always been at the very least half milk, half water ama ata 2 parts milk, 1 part water. Whenever I went to Java and ordered for Mocha, Latte, Tea, Hot Chocolate etc I would request that they add milk. I always used to ask for more milk alafu naletewa na kale kajug kadogooo, kajugette, kapyenga kenye kana magendo mingi.

Sasa hiyo yote gone! Nakunywanga tu turungi ama hibiscus tea. Chocolate haibambi bila milk na I’m not a big fan of coffee. So in a bid to fill my milk void, I decided to try other milks. lactose free milk, doesn’t work for me and by the way hiyo lactose free si free ya ukweli bado I get stomach aches. Haya enter the star of the story, the featuring, the highest paid actor. Soya Milk.

I saw soya milk ile ya Nu Ziwa in the supermarket and decided wacha I buy the small one and try it. My god! Wacha niwaambie wakurungenzi. That thing is out of this world. And when I say out of this world, I mean Out Of This World! Hiyo kitu inaonja kama chai imepikwa na maji ya mbosho ya last week, alafu it has been spiced up with a dash of njahe! Alafu the after taste ni kama ile njugu ya mwisho ya green kwa packet, the one that haijaiva vizuri! It is not an acquired taste, you cannot aquire it! It is not a taste of this world. Afadhali nikunywe Vinegar na honey ile iko na wax! Cheii!

I wasn’t able to go beyond three sips. Ya kwanza ya kugutuka, alas! Ya pili to try and acquire the taste, ya tatu ya kuconfirm that aliens exist!

Haya back to the drawing board. Almond milk is next! I already have a bad feeling about it!
