When I was a little girl, living with my family in Japan, nothing spoke summer to me like Calpico! Typically, we weren't allowed to drink pop or sweet drinks, but on a special occasion...usually when it was blazing hot and that island humidity was at its worst, my Mom would buy Calpico.
I can still feel the sheer joy of watching the cashier ring it up and asking if I could hold the bag that held the bottle of white delight! We'd get on our bikes and ride home from the market and then we'd each get to have a small glass to drink.
With summer in full swing here in central Illinois, I was feeling a bit nostalgic and went on a hunt to see if I could find a bit of my childhood at our local asian market...
Three cheers to summer, creating new memories and celebrating the old ones!

ok, i TOTALLY saw this in the fridge and wondered what the heck it was? i thought it was some like major non-dairy skim milk and was thinking, 'ew'. but after this description, don't be shocked if it's GONE next time you check.
