Most of the week was sprinkled with fun birthday festivities so today it was time to put my nose to the grindstone . I did get my first pattern traced and ready to look for fabric to go with it now.
Today we woke up to thick fog. Eerie but nice.
The animals all liked the cool weather today.
I was busy making queso blanco today. Dude brought in the raw milk. I strained it and jarred it. Then took out the older jars and got the fabric over a colander ready for the cheese. I use a loose weave muslin.
A gallon of raw goat milk in stock pot. Slowly get it up to 175* and hold there for 10-15min.
Dude likes jalapeno in his cheese. I prepared those while the milk heated.
Slowly add five tablespoons of cider vinegar
Once the vinegar is added the curds pull from the whey.
Move the curds to the fabric lined colander.
Add the pickled peppers.
Tie up the four corners and find some place to let the whey drain from it for about 3 hours. I let it drain all day while I am work.
Dude picked carrots for our juice and found a love connection among the vegetables.
I had a bunch of Thank You notes to write. I had none so quickly made some. I got out my mini embosser.
Of course, I had help. (The mess is me organizing my recipes and patterns.)
Ran white cardstock cards through the embosser.
They came out pretty well.
Then simply stamped Thank You in the center .
Within 20 minutes I had 8 cards ready to go.
I got home from work and unwrapped the cheese... perfect.
I am so glad tomorrow is Saturday. Can't wait to see what we get done.
peace
