My daughter finally put together a photo book of our trip last July to Prince Edward Island. Here is the link so you can see the book she made for us. Let me know if you have any trouble seeing it. Or if you see any typos or oddly worded sentences before it goes to print...

Two weeks ago one of the goats got severly injured. We aren't sure exactly what happened since no one was there when it did. I went to milk on Tuesday as normal,and saw puddles of blood on the ground. Thought maybe Shadow was in labor, but it was too early. Or that a preditor got in and...

Today I tried a Middle Eastern Recipe for making Cheese Balls. It is really easy! After making the cheese, drain off the whey, put curds in cheesecloth or cotton cloth, squeeze out remaing whey. Add salt, squeeze out more whey, save some of this whey. Put cheese in food processor, whirl...

At least you were able to put up some things. The only thing that did well this year in my garden was Basil. I was able to make some Pesto and can it. I got ONE very small scallop squash. A few tomatoes, only enough to use in salads. Even my chickens are not laying!!

Yes, I do lots of raised beds and potted plants. Here is a vegetable bed from last year. It did really well! http://www.theeasygarden.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=32209

The goats I milk are Nubians. I would think any type of milk would work.

Wannabefree, That is very kind of you to open your home to those fellows. I will keep you and them in my prayers.

I think adding whey might not give you a creamy texture, since it is watery, it might cause it to go "goatie" quicker. I feed my whey to the dog and chickens, and to my plants.

Today the Morning Glories were so pretty! I have a few different kinds and colors, I am waiting for the bright pink ones to bloom. They are daughter seeds from a neigbor who got them while a young bride in Greece during WWII. They make me happy to see them come back each year.

Update on the job interview yesterday. He was the first of twenty people to apply for the position. It may be a while befroe he hears anything. He came home kind of discouraged, not that they were discouraging in anyway, he just felt his skills/knowledge was not as up to date since he has...

Yes, using rennet will make it even more "solid/crumbly" when drained and cooled. You might try using White Vinegar or Lemon Juice instead of Apple Cider Vinegar. What you need to do to make it like cream cheese is.... after draining the whey out of the cheese, get out your food processor...

It was one of those "Bucket List" places to visit. And never thought I would really get there! But, I am blessed with a daughter that made sure we got there!!

My daughter is working on a photo book from Shutterfly. When she gets that finished I will post the link. She said when she saw the new slide format, she just had to try it.

Thank you everso muchly!!

Well, I don't know if anyone remembers my husband's job of over 31 years was coming to an end. The company is closing down operations here in Tucson, and moving to South Carolina. He was asked to go, but declined. He has a job interview tomorrow! (I wasn't looking forward to attempting to live...

My daughter made this slide show from our Prince Edward Island vacation last month Prince Edward Island Slide Show I hope you will enjoy it!

Actually, we are Messianic... and we do have a good relationship with our local Chabad Rabbi. My work table in the kitchen has plenty of room and the best light for reading. Our Sefer Torah comes home with us after services. We don't run the air conditioning to the shul when we are not...

I find cheese making really easy. I use fresh goat milk, and vinegar and salt. I use this method. http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/Recipes/Goat-Cheese-604/Beginners-Goat-Cheese-907.aspx all you need is a good thermometer, a couple of big pans you can fit together as a double boiler (that way you...

I can't get over the beautiful soil!! Our soil is sand, rocks and Caliche http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caliche Your garden is like something out of my dreams!

Hmmm, I wasn't considering anything quite so drastic as all that!! I was thinking more like a "donation" for the purchase of the Engleside property, and I could print up a certificate and give each person a container with some soil from the place, and a discount card to the B&B when they come...
