We sold our house!

After trying for nearly 6 months, we sold our house this week!  We are so thankful and, as always, God's timing is never too late.  We really need to move before the Spring work starts outside this year, and we should be able to do that.  We plan to close the last week of March, so it should all work out just fine.  We have loved living here but also know it's time to make a change, so are so thankful that God has provided a buyer.

Now we have a few very busy weeks ahead, getting ready to move, but are so thankful.  We have a lot of things to get rid of since we're moving to a much smaller home, so working on that, packing, and doing a little painting at the new place will keep us plenty busy.  On top of that, I got the flu right after we agreed on the selling price, so have not been able to do anything the last couple of days.  Ugh!  But, this too, shall pass!

Homemade Cheese Curds

 

We get raw, grass-fed milk through a herd-share program with a local farmer.  Every week I make yogurt and kefir, which uses up most of our gallon of milk.  Every now and then, though, we have a little more milk than we can use, so I’ve been reading about making cheese – something simple, like mozzarella or ricotta. 

Yesterday I came across the website www.thekitchn.com that had a recipe and tutorial on making “Queso Fresco” or “Fresh Cheese.”  It looked so simple and quick that I decided to try it.  I made mine into Garlic-Dill Cheese Curds because I’ve always liked cheese curds and think the “squeaky” feel is kind of fun to eat!  J  It was easy and turned out really tasty.

Words to Consider

Here's something I read the other day that I thought was worth remembering:

Do nothing that you would not like God to see.

Say nothing you would not like God to hear.

Go no place where you would not like God to find you.

Never spend your time in such a way that you would not like God to say, "What are you doing?”
