Well today is Sunday and the family went to church. I had to go to the grocery store while we were in town due to I had used all my fast rising yeast and I tried to make bread from some yeast I had in the cabinet from the bread machine. Well lets just say that I wanted to make hamburger buns and extra bread.. THE yeast had died! It didnt rise even over night! Well I baked the stuff anyway. The bread will be used for bread crumbs for stuffing and some for an extra treat for the ducks, geese, and chickens..
I set out heavy cream from milk to make butter 48 hours ago and it was time this evening to turn it into butter. It made a nice block of butter in my butter mold. I am waiting for it to solidify now so that I can take it out and use it. I set out more cream for making on Tuesday. I use my blender to get the cream started into butter and then shake it in a jar to make it stick together. I found 2 antique wood butter molds at an auction about 5 months ago and lined it with wax paper to help pop the butter out.
Tonight I am home alone. The family went to evening service and I stayed home. I have had my symthoms of vertigo coming back and get dizzy. I have to take motion sickness medicine for it. But, I think that I am coming down with an inner ear infection. My face feels like it has pressure on one side. I had it once before and dont want to go to the doctor again. Its expensive and I dont like the perscription he put me on last time, (prednizone) Makes me a grouch. I pray that it will subside soon!
My hubby worked on the woodstove project this afternoon. We still need pieces but will wait til Friday which is payday.
God is so good to us! I am so blessed. He is showing me so much I can do for my family without spending alot. Doing it like the old homesteaders! Christmas will be slim but I know that it is not about us. Its a celebration of Christ!
Well tomorrow will be baking bread with good yeast and freezing some. IF my kids dont eat it all first!
