Oh I am totally gonna wear these back to work!

The butter making was a success! Taking the cream from the raw milk I picked up earlier today I threw it into the blender and a few short minutes later had frothy buttery chunks floating in buttermilk. After pouring off the buttermilk and rinsing the butter we had a decent dollop of mild butter.

In the future I think I’d like to improve my rinsing and pressing technique, and after I’m a little more trusting of my raw milk source I might try aging the cream to give the butter a stronger flavor.

A fun project that only took part of an evening!

Can’t wait to try it for the first time. Hope I don’t die.

If I send an email to my “add photo and create blog post about it” address I certainly don’t expect you to create the SAME blog post for EACH photo I have attached. And here I was getting excited about better integration between web apps in the modern web space. Guess I was a bit premature! Flickr, next time create a post with four photos, with one of the photos, or no post at all, but DO NOT create individual posts for each photo!!!

Sincerely,

Your irritated mobile photographer
