I still have 3 does to freshen within the month and then I will have 2 freshening this fall. So I will be swimming in milk. I have a small refrigerator that I will set to temp to be my cheese cooler. I know what you mean by the great feeling of eating what you produce. Yesterday we had manicotti florentine, salad, and garlic bread. I made the cheese, the sauce( all from my garden), the salad I grew all the ingredients, the dressing was made with my milk and my sour cream (seasonings from the store), and I baked the bread and made the butter that went on the bread. It was a good feeling, but a lot of hard work. I will be posting some recipes that I have found and really liked so keep and eye out.

My firdt order of starter cultures arrived in the mail this morning, so I have a gallon of goats milk warming to add the chevre culture to, and a qt warming for buttermilk! We're only milking two of our 4 (well 3 really, the 4th hasn't freshened yet) and getting nearly a gallon of milk each day. I can't keep up with it all, but these cultures should help a LOT!<br /><br />BTW-I'm taking a break to finally eat breakfast, which I just realized except for the butter on my toast is all homemade or locally grown. Fresh ham from the half hog we bought from a local farmer, toast from bread I made myself, and homemade peach jam on that. We'll be trying butter soon. I did read that it can be churned from whole milk if cream is hard to come by.Kelly Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859487060142048869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652834985543565257.post-8660318242790466182010-05-12T11:20:50.693-05:002010-05-12T11:20:50.693-05:00Thanks for sharing a glimse of your wonderful life...Thanks for sharing a glimse of your wonderful life.<br /><br />Have a wonderful day.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04883568766139620387noreply@blogger.com
