I hope you enjoy this video, I decided to do it just a little different with no talking or voice over. The only meal you don't see is our pizza night on Saturday, Jan 11. But you will see my son eating some as leftovers one night, and my daughter ate scrambled eggs. :) Enjoy!

    I read that if you freeze pre ground flour for a week, it kills the bugs/eggs. So then after a week you can shelf-store in airtight container? Thus, freeing up freezer space?

    I'm so glad I've watched your video, I've made Kefir & yoghurt cheese for years, but really wanted to make a hard cheese. Other people kept saying about a cheese cave to age them & I'm so glad to hear I can vacuum pack them & pop them in my normal fridge.

      I use the fine salt regularly (that’s what is in my wood salt cellar). I have the course as well, that I use for brines or curing meat. But the fine and flavored salts are my daily go-to. Thank you!

    • @TheHappyHomestead
      @TheHappyHomestead 13 днів тому

      Yeah I misspoke. I had ordered qty 2 of the 3 lbs. So 6lbs of organic chicken breasts for $54 and 6lbs of organic boneless skinless chicken thighs for $80.

    • @TheHappyHomestead
      @TheHappyHomestead 12 днів тому

      Because regular AP and einkorn AP have the bran and germ removed. That's the point of AP....just the endosperm ground to make it light and fluffy. I can't separate the bran and germ.

    I used to be the one eating leftovers for days when I made too much so it wouldn't go to waste. It drove me nuts. Now, anything that I don't think we'll eat for lunch the next day... or anything left AFTER lunch the next day, gets vacuum sealed and put in the freezer. It seems to be much more appreciated later when it can make a quick lunch or dinner on a busy day. Might it be an option for you?

    I think your butter issue might have been the amount of buttermilk you used. There’s not much cream left in buttermilk, so it may have just been too little cream for the butter to break. Another thing you could have used the cultured milk for would be to make a ranch style dressing. That’d be my choice! 😊
