Friday night ends with a hoot!!! Ben decides he's going to be the goat milk mad scientist and make butter from the goat milk. He pours a full quart into a bowl and proceeds to whip with the hand mixer. It didn't work. We will have to try it from the cream later.
Saturday starts off a little late since I had to do some work at 8AM; but Ben heads to the barn with me to help with the milking chores and I'm very grateful. My hands are still cramping overnight; but now I go to bed with Icy-Hot and gloves. It helps and I know it will get better.
After the milking, I text my neighbor to see how's she's doing with her youngest mom goat that had been giving her grief during the milking process and ask her what type of ice cream maker she uses. She again, being SO generous, offers her maker, to borrow and see if we like it before we buy. I also commandeer her Kitchen Aid stand mixer for Ben's butter extravaganza!
I made plain vanilla ice cream today.
Ben & his science projects -- Gave birth to Kefir today and has to keep it alive!!! It's like yogurt, but you drink it. I'm not game yet, but will try it at some point.
You decide which is better and better for you!
Sunday night ends with a huge laugh!!! While watching a new "STUPID" new show on TV, "Naked and Afraid" to wind the weekend down... Ben is startled with a scorpion in bed! -- after a few screams (like a girl), I flicked it off him and smashed it... He had to clean up the mess. Needless to say, I had scorpion in bed nightmares the whole night.
My on call starts for me again at 7am tomorrow!!! So no Life to speak of until next week... -- I'm thankful for my job and what it give me... Technology Challenges, Brain Stimulation and Funds to eventually retire on!!!
Keep on smiling....
