I just came in from seeing the flock. Silly girls. Their coop door is open straight into their run, they can come out any time they want. But they've been sitting inside since yesterday's snow. Wish I would have taken a video of them tumbling out the coop door to see if I'd brought them treats (I did). :gig

I got the frame for the run door made, and the frame of the door itself made today. Plus I made a section of the top type of pallets I was out of. So it is coming along. Sadly it is supposed to rain tomorrow.

You make me think of "Bob the builder ". My gs watches that all the time. Can we build it? Yes we can.
 
Hi everyone just poppin in

I am finally making Ghee. Six pounds of butter melting on the stove.

You cook it till it starts popping a little on low heat. the milk solids rise but some settle to the bottom... Once the milk solids on the top sink down and the bubbles get big you watch carefully to see if the butter is browning.

When its just right you pour it off through a fine sifter into what ever container you like. Takes about twenty minutes.

IN a steril container with a good lid the ghee has a stable non refrigerated shelf life of a few months to a year.... use a clean spoon EVERY time too.

once the milk solids are gone you can fry or even deep fry with ghee. Good for fish and pastry and pan searing steak.... all sorts of things.

I burned my last batch and it was Yummy. Almost a caramel flavor... Still have some and it hasnt gone rancid in more than a year.

Hi Deb, good to see you! Does the ghee give things a more "buttery" flavor than you'd get with animal or vegetable oil? Nice that it will last that long on the shelf.
