That was actually what I was going to do to start with, and just try to fly in under the radar. I was gong to live by the "better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission" rule. My spouse is the one who decided to push the issue by bringing it up to an administrator. I mean, if they asked what it was, could just say "potato soup." Could be, ya know, that I am just not a very good cook, and I forgot to add a few of the ingredients. I wasn't even going to ask, was going to just do it, figuring the worst they could do is make me throw it away. Or, tell them it was one of those "Healthy Choice" Cream of Whatever soups....no salt, butter, etc. etc. It's much easier for me to be able store it in "tupperware" than for my spouse. I work in an office and we have a fridge. He's out on the buildings and it's easier for him to carry it in a bottle.
Okay, and even if I weren't wanting to start drinking unpasturized milk, and I had just decided that I needed to consume more cow's milk for say, purposes of consuming more calcium or vitamin D, it would get pretty darned expensive to have to buy a little bottle of it at the convenience store every day to be able to take it in with me.
If nothing else, I suppose I can make goat milk yogurt and put in tupperware in order to get my daily goat milk ration. The whole reason I wanted to get a goat was so that we could start living a "less processed" existance. I am 41 and I feel crappy all the time. I have no energy and for the past few years have had all kinds of muscle pains, etc. etc. Blood work hasn't shown an illness present that is causing it. When my spouse got the chickens so we would have fresh eggs, I started pushing for a milk goat to have access to fresh milk. Yeah, I could consume my goat milk rations before and after work, but why?
Hee, hee....on the same subject....my father in law works at the same facility. He has had milk goats now for ten years, and the only milk he drinks is fresh goat milk. For many years he has been filling up a water bottle and taking the milk to work with him. Although the rules have always said beverages had to be brought in in the original container, it wasn't until recently that they began stringently enforcing the rule. When he was told that he could only bring it in the original container, he told them that tomorrow he'd lead his goat right in with him.
Look, I am not trying to be a butt about following the rules. Most of the rules have validity to them. I just have serious issues with the fact that a liquid food such as soup can be brought in via tupperware, while another liquid food, goat milk can't.
All of this came about because of unethical employees on other units smuggling in cell phones that they were being paid to bring in. They tightened up and now we all have to be pat searched and have what we bring in with us searched. That's fine with me, I don't mind being searched...well, to a point I don't mind it....because I am not one of the people who is bringing in anything illegal. But, my b*tch about it is that on the units where they had the problems, they are still finding inmates with cell phones, and now I can't bring in a flippin' bottle of goat milk.
