Enola,
ReplyDeletelove the photo of your little wee one! Too precious! You need to keep that one for him to have when he is older and has children of his own. :)

Doesn't get much better than that. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Enola. When I say grace on Thursday, I will be thinking of you, as a gift from God.

Thank you for the compliment. The green Made in Denmark grinder-looking thingy is the Diamont Grain Grinder. It is one awesome piece of equipment! It is capable of doing everything from cracking grain for animals to pastry quality flour.

Part of the reason I keep this blog is for a family chronicle! I have it printed out in book form every quarter. I will definitely keep the pictures of Master Calvin to look back upon!

ReplyDeleteI would also like to know how to can cream cheese.Did you make your own cream cheese?If so can you also share how to do that?
ReplyDeleteDarlene ,
ReplyDeletethanks for asking Enola that. I was wondering the same thing. :) My pressure cooker/canner just came the other day and I haven't had time to take it for a "test drive".
I am looking forward to trying it out after the dust settles from the holidays.
