"It is only by introducing the young
to great literature, drama, and music,
and to the excitement
of great science,
that we open to them
the possibilities
that lie within the human spirit--
enable them to see visions
and dream dreams."

It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work.
It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."

"Cleaning and scrubbing
can wait 'til tomorrow.
For babies grow up,
we learn to our sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs!
Dust, go to sleep!
I'm rocking my baby,
and babies don't keep!"

Oct. 31, 2009 - Good Food
I am ecstatic. I have connected with a group of buyers to buy food from local farmers. Most of the goodies are free of antibiotics, hormones, preservatives, etc. We even connected with a farmer who has raw cow milk and are trying our first gallon today. We've been drinking raw goat milk for almost two years now, but I've never had raw cow milk. It is totally different from anything I've had before. It's good, though. Hope doesn't know anything different from goat milk. I'm anxious to see if she likes the cow milk, but she has been napping since I got home with it. I am wondering if the meat will taste any different having been grass-fed vs. the feed lot variety from the grocer. I'm really looking forward to cooking our meals this week!
We will have Chicken Cassoulet, Sloppy Joe Pot Pie, Vegetable Chili, Chicken and Potatoes, and a pot roast. I'm considering a pumpkin soup, too. These are nearly all new recipes, so it will be an adventure.
We were supposed to go to Reformation Party today, but some of the children have a yucky cold and I didn't want to share that with others. I'm sure my son's cough would raise eyebrows and be truly scary to others on this day of fear. He is feeling okay, but sounds awful. Joy had a bout with a croupy cough last night and gave us a bit of a scare. Joe was so sweet to sit in the steamy bathroom with her and read her stories. It helped his cough, too. I put VapoRub on the bottoms of her feet and she hasn't coughed at all today. We'll see how tonight goes. Faith has the cold, too, but is a trooper and handling it well.
These were taken last weekend at an Egyptian Festival. The kids has fun doing an archaeology dig, learning about mummies, and making papyrus.
I hope all are feeling better soon. We think grass fed meat tastes better and less fatty. It cooks up a little bit different too (a lttle slower). I hope you all enjoy your new food journey.
Blessings,
Dawn
So what did you think of the cow milk? What's the co-op like? Do you think it's too far away for me? I live in the country but have a hard time finding grass fed beef and free range chickens. We do have fresh eggs and access to fresh cow milk.
