My favorite way to skim milk

When you look up how to skim milk on the internet you'll find tons of different ways and tips. Those must work for somebody but this is what I have found.

If you skim all the cream and then try to whip it, it won't work. Trust me. We whipped and whipped and whipped and finally got butter. Just sort of skipped the whipped cream stage. Now we know the only cream that whips well is the thickest cream right on top. Now that I think about it you can get different kinds of cream at the store too; heavy whipping cream or light cream.

 If you drag a spoon in it it should wrinkle.

 bad picture but maybe you can see the creases. Some of the cream just below this will also whip even without the crease. Experiment a little and you'll figure it out.

The heavier cream does well with a ladle. It helps you be precise but after the whipping cream, I find it easier and faster to use a baster.

Skim milk.

and somehow the bacon bits got in the picture too:)

 

The reason that picture at the beginning has 15p written on the jar is that we milked that milk on the 15th in the evening. We found that dry erase markers work well on glass without sticking permanently.

Pictures (by Micah)

Hello. My name is Micah. (I am Amy's brother.) I had a few pictures from a weak or two ago that I wanted to show a friend so I put 'm on here. The first picture was taken today with my trail camera. All of the others I took with a camera that our friend gave me. My favorite is the last one. So here they are. (drum role please.) ;)

I took this picture with my trail camera. It's a buck.

 This picture and I match. We are both cool.

 I like the snow in this one.

This one Too.

 

 This one is awesome. (Just like me) Ok, Ok. not funny.

 

 

This is the best one. don't ya think.

 

Joke

 

Once, a long time ago, there was a family who lived by the river. One day the Ma and the three boys where sitting at the table when Pa came in, mad as a wet hen. He yelled "who pushed the out house into the river?" Nobody said anything. So the Pa calmed down and said "well, when George Washington was little he chopped down a cherry tree and when his Pa asked him if he had done it George Washington said he had. So his Pa didn't spank him. Now, who pushed the out house into the river?" One of the boys stepped up and said "I did it." Well, Pa put him over his knee and spanked him. The little boy asked him "If George Washington didn't get spanked when he told the truth why did you spank me?" Pa answered him by saying "His Pa wasn't sittin' in the tree."
