Today I am going to make h/m pancakes with my fresh milk that went sour. The girls don't like fresh milk after they saw what it looks like when it first comes out from a cow. It really tastes better, and I proved it to them, but they still prefer store milk.

I am told the store milk doesn't sour like fresh milk. Instead is spoils, so it shouldn't be used.

I just got fresh milk last night. I am going to make butter to make chocolate chip cookies using 1/2 the amount of chips that the recipe calls.

Going to hang laundry. I don't really have a choice as we don't have a dryer. We are fortunate that we have some where to hang it inside during the winter.

Burning off the coals in the wood stove instead of dumping them as ashes. This will also increase it's capacity for more wood which we will need as temps are expected to be -10 F this week.

Traded babysitting 1 day a week with neighbor in exchange for her taking the girls to school 5 days a week. This will save me 24 miles a day. She also takes them home on Thursdays.

Spent $16 for gas last night.
