    Hello Friends – I have recently relocated from the USA and am pleased to find Dumaguete much as described by folks on this forum. Am anxiously awaiting new posts concerning where to buy fresh milk and the results of Relayer’s quest for tomatoes. I wonder whether anyone has spied zucchini squash? Best wishes to all.

    milk

    The best milk here is from the dairy plant, near to Mercury Drug at the Agricultural Department off National Highway. It is also found in Lee Supermarket refrigerated section under the name of Norient. Here is a link to a thread about just this subject: http://www.dumagueteinfo.com/board/expat-section/real-fresh-milk-9109.html

    Zuchini squash is frequently but not always available in the supermarkets. I've found supposedly organic tomatoes and romain lettuce also. I don't know how organic they were but they tasted better than the stuff normally available here.

    The tomatoes this time a year at the market are very good AND red. The "season" will not last long so better take advantage from it.

    Yes, get as many of this lovely red tomatoes right now, very good stuff indeed, then go and get white onions and garlic, olive oil(the good stuff) and Mc Cormick "Italian" dried herbs mix and make your own "Sugo", fill it into sterilized jars and you have them preserved for the time when there are non available.
    Does anybody tried to dry tomatoes?:wink:
