Here are most of them are so far (plus an older one), thick as thieves. They run in a little fluffy gang.

The Daily Haul

Hermione gives me this much milk every morning. I made my first batch of chevre yesterday and it didn’t set right. I need to order fresh rennet and culture to remedy that. I hope to put at least 50 blocks of cheese in the freezer before I get tired of the daily milking routine. Probably sooner than later. 🙂
A Miniature (Actual) Bakery

Brian and I delivered a present to one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet today, Lionel Vatinet of La Farm Bakery. When we lived in Cary, NC it was our favorite neighborhood business. Who wouldn’t love an authentic french bakery within walking distance of their house? Fast forward 5 or so years and we started running into Lionel at various food and wine festivals. I was thrilled to surprise him with a mini representation of his business. I’ve had the mini baker’s rack for about 30 years waiting on the perfect use. I made the breads and pastries and that’s his cookbook ‘A Passion For Bread’. I highly recommend it! The very best part about this story is he ships the most amazing breads and pastries. Make sure you check out his website http://www.lafarmbakery.com
Too Cold For This

Hermione’s back on the milking stand. Every morning. Too icy to get the key into our mule? Nope, still milking. 11 degrees out? Too bad. I keep reminding myself goat cheese is delicious.

We’ve had 3 inches of snow in the past 2 hours this morning. Jack’s been playing in the snow, the lambs are frolicking, there’s a path out to the hot tub and a batch of jalapeno corn bread in the oven to go with the big pot of chili I made yesterday. Bring it on!

The pond is iced over and we’re bracing for a big snow. We have a winter storm warning starting tonight thru the next 3 days. Should be interesting. I made a huge pot of chili today and the champagne is chilling. I think we’re all set.

These little guys are twins and were born yesterday. They’re both healthy and well taken care of by their mama. A great start!

We took our fresh Christmas tree down and delivered it to the goats. They will have it stripped in no time then the remnants will go into the pond as fish habitat. Happy New Year!
