Yesterday was the weekly tea date with my friend Vickie. Its quite fun, we have a lovely treat to eat, and something nice to drink, and some great conversation. Yesterday I made this...

Dark Chocolate Pate with Creme Anglaise Sauce and Whipped

Cream. I already had a taste when I took the pic, which is why there is a chunk missing from the bottom left corner. I must say, this was to die for! It was so rich, and creamy, and chocolat-y and the sauce was just perfect!

If you want the recipe, let me know and I'll post it.

I had Miss Jar Jar Goats up on the stanchion the other day, I have been putting her up there to get her use to the idea that I will be milking her. The kids and I brush her, and I run my hand over her udder to let her know that I won't hurt her when it comes to milking. Anyhow, I was doing this when I felt something wet on my hand. At first I thought she was going potty, but no, it seems that she has milk coming in!!!! I am thrilled to death to get some physical evidence that she is pregnant, since I had been doubting that this week as she hasn't gotten any bigger for a while. She is at 12 weeks now out of the 20 weeks they gestate. Only about 8 weeks left! The new goat house is almost finished. Just a few touches on the front wall, put up the back wall, and roof and it's done. This will give her a nice big place to kid and I can get in there to help her if she needs it. The dog house she is using now will be impossible for me to get in to help should the need arise.

Got to go check the injured chicken (another story for another day). Bye Bye!
