windy days

Can't say that it has been really cold recently, but it has been windy.

Breezy, I would say.

In June it was quite hot, and everyone wanted rain. I don't know how, but mind is over matter, i guess, and in July it was raining soooo hard (btw i was afraid to go outside). And.... August. This month is neutral, the weather is okay, however i want it to be a little warmer.

I hope autumn will be much better in terms of the weather :)

Drink while you eat

To be honest, I don't know how to translate it, because the russian language is so complicated...

Nevermind!

Packaging and general information

As you can see, It's a small packet with a lot of little things which look like pills. There were 3 flavours: strawberry, chocolate and ice cream (but in reality it's just vanilla). I decided to buy strawberry and vanilla.

Vanilla/Ice cream flavour (left) and strawberry flavour (right)

Ingredients

These pills are supposed to replace normal milk (here's the meaning of the title). They are made of powdered milk, so you just eat them and at the same time you drink milk 🧐

The brand's name is 'Three cows, two cats'.
Pills are not big, their size is the same as Coca-Cola's cap.

The taste

The taste is the same as real milk, it's not so bitter sweet as I thought. However, sweetness appears as an aftertaste, and that makes you thirsty at some point.

Price

One packet costs ≈43 rubles (0.64 USD, 0.53 GBP)

Hey, if you are wandering how we russians put up with extremely cold winters and lots of snow, I can tell you!

It's the 22 of December, there's NO snow in Moscow, and it was much more colder in October than in this month.

Yeah, it's SoOoOo CoLd In RuSsIa

(I'm not talking about Siberia lol, they have all these, you know, 'winter' things)
