Sorry I haven't been blogging a lot lately. I've basically been sleeping and spending time with my family lately. I went snow tubing on Saturday and it was fun. Well, not as much fun as I would like it to have been. I don't really want to talk about it though. This may be a public diary but I don't like to talk gossip. LOL I wasn't able to go to church on Sunday, sadly, because our car... well... lets just say it needs some help! I was also waaayyyy too tired to go. I got home at like 10:30pm and went to bed at 11. So, I was pretty tired. Well, Saturday my dad brought home FRESH cow's milk! We were so happy. Its a long and hard to explain story about store bought milk. Lets just say that if milk is pasteurized then it is not digestible. So we got unpasteurized cow's milk straight from a near-by farm! Now, I don't have to feel guilty when I have cookies and milk! Yesterday we had kind of like a baking day. My mom was going to try to make some butter from the milk we have. Did you know that cow's milk, after it sits out for a while, separates from a cream to the milk, and you can use that cream to make butter? Well, we did! LOL My mom was going to give it a try with our new mixer we got! She tried to find all these recipes on how to make it. There was one that used the mixer. Usually you need to put it in a glass jug and shake it like crazy for 30 mins but we went with the mixer one. Yeah... it didn't go so well. We put it in the mixer and it wasn't doing what it needed to do for the LONGEST time. So, my mom tried to turn it into sour cream. Yeah... that didn't work either. So, we ended up throwing it out. But you learn from your mistakes. The one simple mistake that we must have made was... letting it sit at room temperature. So next time we go and get milk we are going to try again. We also baked cookies yesterday! We were all so excited. Well, yesterday must have been an off day and the cookies didn't turn out the best as usually. But thats what my mom says. I thought they tasted fine!!! We have this thicker flour that we used and we accidentally put too much flour in the cookies. So the cookies tasted a little too much wheaty to everyone but me. So thats what I did yesterday. Today I don't have to do school! YAY! That is because my dad is home because he gets President's Day off. I do have piano today, and a few chores. Well, I have to go... LOOOOOVVVVEEESSSS!!!
