I am making cheese and Cahete....!

Sounds delicious! Feel free to post any good recipes.

I made pepper jack cheese this week. It looks like it is going to be good.

Cajete

2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 gallon goats milk
4 cups sugar

simmer the milk about 5 hours on a medium heat until it turns to caramel. (a teaspoon of the caramel dropped into ice water can be rolled into a soft jelly like blob.)

You can add vanilla if you wish.

Pour into hot canning jars and top with lids and rings snugged down firmly. store in the refrigerator.

OK so here are some new pictures... Blackberry

She's two months Old.

Apricot is Mama's baby, one of three. Almost two months old.

Then there is Apple Dumpling who looks almost identical except she has a dot on her tail.

And of course, Fuzzy Peach who has ears and is the Mini Mama of the three... in every way....including size.

Next is Reina feeding her adopted baby, Razberry...

And this is Razberry...

and last of all, here is Brownie with her two kids, Frodo (the brown and white buckling) and Danny DeVito (the spittin image of his daddy - Houdini)

Of course, we have to see Houdini...

Ian

and OF COURSE, Mama

that is Ian and Polka Dot (Razberry and Kiwiberry's mama) (Kiwiberry is not in this set - she kept hiding in the bushes with Jelly Bean)

They are so lovely! Houdini has grown so wonderful! I still remember when you first got him. Ian is such a handsome boy, I remember when he just a baby.

ARRRGH!

I broke my leg a couple weeks ago... Then a week later, my tire went flat. I had to walk home to get a jack and the spare. (I got the tire fixed.)
A couple days ago another tire went flat. Had to walk home to get the jack and the spare.
Yesterday the battery went dead while I was milking. I had to call a friend for a jump. Tonight it is dead so I had to walk to the barn (a mile away) to feed the goats.

Now I also have a staph infection that keeps cropping up with sores all over my tummy and legs. And I have an abscessed tooth that is KILLING ME and no money for the dentist.

AGGRAVATION.

If it weren't for my goats to cheer me up, I would be very sad indeed. But they make me laugh and smile.

GOAT THERAPY!

Sounds like you need to get your hands on some antibiotics for that tooth. Doctors always yell at me but I like to keep a stash on hand. LOL I never throw out meds. One never knows when you need em.
What breed is that buck Ian

What breed is that buck Ian

Ian is Oberhauslie and Nubian. He makes beautiful babies, and doelings with very nice udders.

I am taking antibiotics... but they don't seem to be clearing things up.
