Yesterday
I made buttermilk from culture and raw goat milk. Looks pretty good.
I'll use some of it tomorrow as a culture for raw goatmilk cheddar.
Tonight after I milk, I'll strain the milk and put in a culture for a
soft cheese called Fromage. It's like a cream cheese, which I would
like for cooking.
I'm
planning on trying more hard cheeses now that I am overflowing with
Feta! It looks so nice with herbs in the jars. I'm planning on giving
it as gifts during the holidays. I'll try some soft cheese, rolled in
balls and with herb coating stored in olive oil too.
I'm
still waiting on a shipment of scents for soapmaking. Can you tell I'm
trying to keep busy? Can you tell it's hunting season? I'm not
bitter...okay, yes I am.
Anyway,
I have tons of tomatoes and yellow squash from the garden. I'm not in
the mood for them anymore at all, so I'll process them into something.
I have had so much salsa lately- usually we can't get enough, but I
guess we have passed "enough" by now!
It's time to head out to
the barn and milk, feed, water, and check on an injury. Then...it's
time for jammies and a cup of tea and a good book. THE "good Book",
actually the comic book version belongin to my 7 year old boy. He loves
for me to read out loud from that. I just got my newest No Greater Joy
and saw two new books I want! One is a great looking comic book version
of Bible stories clearly giving the Gospel, that I want to get my boys.
They know the gospel, but they can use it with friends, and get it
ingrained into their own brains as well.

Saw that Comic Book Bible too from NGJ. I was thinking the girls would probably like it as well. ANother book to add to the list :).
We've been keeping busy around here too. Nothing like the cool Fall weather to make you want to be busy in the home! Made another batch of soap yesterday. Does Brambleberry always take a long time for shipping? I remember my first order and it seems like I waited for weeks.
Anywho...I promise to get your blog done soon! I have not been online much lately...to much to do around here. Sorry!
