Raw milk

You'd think that by living in the country that we would have a wonderful resource for raw milk right here ~ WRONG! I guess that was a blessing in disguise because I finally found a raw milk co-op in Victoria that sells certified raw milk from an organic dairy!
We just made our first pick up on Monday:

Do you see the color of that stuff? It's a beautiful golden yellow!
That's from the cows eating purely at pasture. I asked how recently it was obtained and the farmer said, "Oh, about four o'clock this morning!"

Besides milk they also sell raw cheeses, butter, and free range eggs.
But it is the milk that is liquid gold. So good and so good for you!

Guess what I made as an after dinner treat...

Homemade vanilla ice cream

JP ate his outside at the picnic table. Danny took the can and it's remnants and sat on the swing with the little girl from next door.

Nothing better than sharing a cool treat with a friend on a hot summer evening!

Danny is lactose intolerant but he can easily tolerate raw milk. The reason why is that during the pasteurization process enzymes that help the body assimilate and digest lactose are destroyed. With raw milk the protective enzymes remain intact. So eat up Danny boy, mommy will make some more tomorrow night...or maybe some yogurt or cream cheese, keifer or queso fresco, maybe even butter!
