…a funny thing happened on the way to the bar
Today was the day! We got up early to take Ivy to the vet to see if she was pregnant. Pretty huh? Pretty early.
So yeah, 2023 has not been stellar. First we get a (minor, but still) cancer diagnosis. Now I’m back in the job market. Boo. The good news is that I have lots of time for projects? Let’s do a quick roll call on our… Continue Reading “The Hits Just Keep On Coming”

As you know, my good friend Prairie Peacock makes fabulous soaps. One of the things that she wants to do is to be able to add shapes to her soaps. So I built her a die to fit her extruder.
So one I made the goat cheese, I had to make something with it. I already had a dinner plan, so what to do? Make an amuse bouche.
So I found a source for some goat milk nearby. Since we decided not to breed our does, we don’t have milk. Although, one of our does was filling out enough I had to google “pregnant goats.” It is really obvious when a goat… Continue Reading “Goat Milk”
