Bottom Round in Brine
Wine is making
Cheese is in the dehydrator, being made with kefir, this is a first time for me
Sour cream is working, being made with kefir.
Banana Ice cream and Vanilla Ice Cream is in the freezer curing
A full rib is chilling to be sliced for Rib Eye Steak sandwiches and Philly Cheese steak sandwiches.
I have often wondered if we are foodies? I hear about foodies trying all the restaurants and lots of new dishes. But I really do wonder about the way we live and our love affair we have with good food.
A new door has been opened for me with having our milk. Dairy has been something I have always wanted to have. I have been making soft cheese, Feta, hard cheese is ripening in the cave, cottage cheese and there are many more I want to proceed with. When you make cheese you get an extra treat, WHEY, I now cook all of my pasta in a whey/water mixture, I have never tasted pasta as delicious as this. If the sauce needs to be thinned I use the water from cooking the pasta, there is no way to explain how delicious the sauce is when thinned with the whey water.
We are not forgetting the girls, their morning oatmeal is now being made with whey and they seem very happy. The whey is used every other day. I do not want to get them too used to all of this special attention.
By Saturday evening we have enjoyed some of the ice cream. Mr Bootsie tasted the sour cream and he said it was Sour Cream. Cheese in dehydrator was a disappointment but I will try again. May be a while before I do, I may need to learn much more about making cheese. The ribs are in the freezer with the tails and ends to be used for stock. Oh, I see French Onion Soup coming my way. Wine is working and will be for a couple of weeks. I am looking forward to making something wonderful with the meat I have in brine. There is one thing I have to address, I need to make bread with my sourdough starter.
Garden is coming along. We did find some little tomatoes this week. Picking lots of snow peas and sugar snap peas. Moles have attack more of my walking onions. Garlic is starting to turn yellow on the bottom leaves. I am excited because I need garlic.
As of this Saturday, May 31, my first born babies are now 8 weeks old, they have grown so fast and now I am thinking about their new homes. I have to start advertising them so they can have new homes. I am going to miss these little ones. It has been so much fun going to the barn and having all of the goats, 9, come running to see you.
June 1, we are awaiting a hatch. Hoping to see some little ducks and chicks. Little Gray, the momma hen has done a great job. I really will be pleased to see her strutting her stuff with the little ducks following her.
We spent the afternoon splitting fire wood, cutting greens for the animals and dropping a few trees to be cut to length and split next week. For 2 older folks, I think we do pretty good. We work together and try to look out for each other. I would not be able to continue without Mr. Bootsie as he is a very hard worker. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you real soon as our journey continues here on Triple Creek Farm.
