This butter is one of the greatest things that has ever touched my lips. It is creamy, yellow and full of flavor. Paired with one of the fresh, burning hot, hard rolls and salt, it is worth every cent of the cash I forked over for the entire dinner. I could eat it with a spoon. I have not quite figured out why I still consume that pale boring homogenized stick that we pass off as butter when I am so fully aware of this alternative. Raw dairy, you are my best friend.

A long long month!!
Sorry that I haven't posted anything in a while (that is an apology to both the reader and myself). I got really busy, then I went to Reno and when I came home...I found that I had been burgled. Some neighborhood kids broke into my house and stole ALL 3 of my laptops. Luckily I have all of my pictures on an external hard drive, but living without a computer is sort of getting in the way of my blog.
I promise that some new posts will happen soon. The garden is going crazy with cucumbers, tomatillos and zuchinni. Oh and carrots, corn brussel sprouts and herbs. I have some berkshire pork ribs marinating in my fridge and have been eating some wonderful meals.
Please keep checking in and I will get back in full effect soon.
