This Saturday I needed to make butter, so she helped. I explained the butter making process and it all went swimmingly. I showed her how to pot up the salted butter, and she did that while I got on with the rest of the process. I now have two bowls for Bernie (the Bosch Mixer), and so the process was remarkably smooth.
I churned 4 litres of cream, then washed the butter in the churn. I divided the butter into two, one in each of Bernie's bowls. First bowl was salted and put on to mix. When it was mixed, Small Person started potting, and I put the second salted bowl on to mix. Meanwhile, I got on and churned the second lot of 4 litres.
We watched Paddington 2 in the evening, and all went to bed at about 10pm.
Small Person was very tired, she slept until about 9.30 Sunday morning. After she's made pancakes (using buttermilk), she got dressed and helped me put some covers on the sides of the Cubes to try and protect the chooks from the vicious wind. She also made snow angels, so she got soaked and had to get changed before going out again.
I'm looking forward to the Easter holidays
