Shortbread in the shape of elephants. I wish I had given them faces. Next time.

It went nicely with some sweet cheese I made.

One chilly evening not that long ago I decided I would like to have a comforting beverage. I somehow concluded that warm milk with a shot of peach schnapps would be the ultimate in liquid cozy delight. WRONG. Curds and whey formed. I became nauseated and dumped it. But then soon after I put on the cheesemaker hat and reenacted the same technique which resulted in a sweet and peachy yummy spreadable! I let it strain for about a week and only ended up with about 1/4 cup, but I am so proud of my first little cheese. My recurring dream of being a cheesemaker is now reality. I can’t wait to try this again. Perhaps I shall consult my friend “Googy” for tried and true methods. Did you know that it takes a lot of milk to make a little bit of cheese?

The elephants went to school in the snack cup with some raisins. I was tempted to entitle this snack “elephants and their droppings” but I resisted and asked my son to think up a name instead. He said “elephants and ants.” Much better.

Hey I missed my 4th blogiversary last month. Can I still celebrate even though I don’t write here very much at all? Do people who lead boring lives still count their birthdays? YES! Well then whoop dee doo! Hooray for four!
