Here is a picture of some Mozzarella that I made today's from Daisy's milk. It is ridiculously easy to make, with Ricki's kit. You can make it from grocery milk! To learn more about it, go to http://www.cheesemaking.com/ to order the kit. It is SO easy. It is called "30 Minute Mozzarella" because it is so fast and easy.

Here's the cheese

I gave the kids some chunks, and they kneaded herbs and spices into theirs. My daughter's garlic cheese is wonderful!!

That is so cool. When I was growing up my family planted a huge garden every year. We also had a cow and I learned to milk a cow at an early age and churn. We also killed a beef and hog every summer so we always had fresh food. There was a lady down the road that sold cow butter. That is the best stuff. Grocery store food tastes so different. I love the good old day tastes. I planted a garden this year and can't wait for it to come in. Enjoy Daisy.

What did you plant in your garden? We put a big one in this year. I'm learning how to grow several vegetables; I may need to ask your advice

Ugh. Daisy, bless her heart, sometimes decides to use the bathroom while we are milking her. :shock:

We are learning to read the signs before it happens! We grab a bucket for #1 to catch it in, and grab a big scoop to catch #2. It is supposed to break them of the habit to catch it like that. My son (he is 13) has the job of standing by near the scoop and the bucket, during milking, to catch whatever comes!! ha. Of course, we jerk the milk bucket out of the way as fast as we can.

So much to learn... :wink:

In our garden we had potatoes, corn, green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, peas, green peppers, lettuce, cabbage, melons, probably a few more that I can't think of right now. I have a small garden this year with various tomato plants, squash, eggplant, green peppers, green beans, cabbage and watermelon. I will be planting some cucumbers this weekend.

I'm growing eggplant this year, for the first time. And green peppers for the first time as well.

Adds a entirely new meaning to cutting the cheese. :oops:

A dear old man at church told me the first year I had my garden.
He said when everything starts bearing pick it everyday and it
bear more for you. I did that and it works.

I wish I was still able to have a garden but I have so much trouble with my knees I can't.

Go see my garden & what I canned . Years past.

What a beautiful garden!! Thank you so much for sharing. I liked seeing what you canned also! I hope to do a lot of canning this year. I've already canned some strawberry jam, and I've frozen lots of strawberries.

Thanks again for sharing :Terrific:
