Pasteurizing milk and cream...

By

Yesterday I pasteurized some milk and cream. It is really easy to do yourself. You just heat up the milk to 161 degrees and hold it for 15 sec and then immediately cool by putting the pan in a sink full of ice or do like I did and set it out in the snow where it's only 5 degrees out. :)



Going to make cheese and butter today...

John Bull, Cleaning Housewives Dusting Polishing Products Magazine, UK, 1953 I've been working on cleaning the inside of the house really good for winter. I like to deep clean around this time of year and maintain in throughout the fall. Sometime during the winter, I will deep clean again. The woodstove puts out a lot of dust. :) I like to clean the windows, too. Living in the country, I like to see what the Lord created. LOL. Not raindrop marks, etc. Housewife Cleaning Glass Window Slats The next task is going to be cleaning the office. Ugh. I'm terrible at organizing! Ah!
