Better Butter


I told hubby, we could skip buying the cow and just make regular trips to the bakery that sells this butter.  It's a 2 1/2 - 3 hour drive, but we all need to get away right?  


I haven't convinced him yet, so we may just have to buy the cow some day soon.   I am already searching for a butter churn.


I am really enjoying the taste of this growth hormone free butter.  It's tastier than organic butter I find in stores here.

We have neither available here but I do love my butter! I've tried to switch but I always go back to butter. You're right though. I wouldn't need a cow just organic cream? Not sure I can get that either. We have organic milk but that's it in the dairy department. I try...LOL!

I love butter. I don't know that I've had organic butter...but I bet the Mennonite Dairy Farmers around the corner-- (a few miles really) have it.

I should check this out!

That would have been perfect on the bread I made today! I can't wait to get a milk cow. I look so forward to homemade butter, fresh milk, and especially homemade cheese and yogurt.

We're fortunate to have a Mennonite bakery only an hour away. One of our staples from the bakery is the roll butter. It does taste better! Since I've been watching my calories, I've decided to make what I do eat taste very, very good. Why waste calories on bland margarine or artificial flavorings just to save a calorie, if any?

Butter: yum, yum, yum!

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
