I have never tried any complicated recipes and the one that I have been making is simply 4 gallons heated to 180 milk and then add 2 cups vinegar. Once curdled and drained, salt is added. Simple, but it does not melt. :( Come visit and we will give you milk and cream. :) Dave ~ Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06969488242088890863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905879031790835728.post-50506187744750944762015-01-04T22:39:50.623-05:002015-01-04T22:39:50.623-05:00Except for mention of the freezer, garbage bags an...Except for mention of the freezer, garbage bags and frozen pizza, you sound like you stepped right out of Laura Ingalls Wilder! I have been thinking lately about trying to make cheese. I saw an easy way to make a soft cheese out of Greek yogurt, which I can sometimes get really cheap at our bent 'n dent. I have some in my fridge right now and I think I'll give it a try.

I worked in a dental office as an assistant for about five years,up until I had Travis. I haven't seen the people I worked with for years. Of course, it is in Ohio. The dentist's son took over his practice a number of years ago. When I visit Ohio I do try to go in and see the one assistant who still works there that I worked with. I went in this summer but she had retired, so didn't get to see her. I've tried to find them on facebook but haven't been able to.Twilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428832972468695592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905879031790835728.post-3850742894593593142014-09-24T13:54:00.889-04:002014-09-24T13:54:00.889-04:00So you are a chauffeur, also, Twila! :) I like t...So you are a chauffeur, also, Twila! :) I like to drive, Dave don't care to as much, but he actually is a very good driver if he can keep his mind on the road.

After his surgeries he wasn't allowed to drive so I did the driving. We really like this arrangement, so now I do most of the driving. It works well for both of us.

I hate to admit, but there are times that I need to remind myself "Thou shalt not covet". The Bible reminds us to be thankful. Why is that so hard?

I have also struggled with discontentment at times, not so much because of magazines, but after being in someones home that seems so perfect and put together. I come home and mine seems small and cluttered. I'm not great at decorating either and our rooms are rather small, so things can easily pile up and give the cluttered look. Then the verse comes to mind, I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I do thank God for the home he gave us and I love it here. Thanks for giving us a peek into "real" living!Twilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428832972468695592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905879031790835728.post-75590960535137585282014-05-19T08:35:31.210-04:002014-05-19T08:35:31.210-04:00Thank you, Gail!
