But homemade butter totally seems like something to do once, at the very least, in one's life. Plus, I never realized how feasible (read: no fancy equipment) it would to be make. I always imagined those old wooden butter churns...Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919970256928210001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882957900081933460.post-12287730422322926772009-05-22T09:54:39.850+12:002009-05-22T09:54:39.850+12:00The butter looks fantastic!!!

By hand! ...Wow, you actually made your own butter! By hand! With a whisk!! I am suitably impressed! I actually had to laugh out loud at your comment: "I feel like I've just seen some <I>margarine</I> or something". Haha, I didn't know there was such a thing as a "butter high". While I don't have anything against margarine (quite happily will have it on my toast, but that's about it, I rarely eat it), I will never use it in my baking. There are some things that butter was just made for.<br /><br />I am also one of those people that eats things and puts on weight instantly. Which is why it's so evil that I can't stop eating the cookies I just made (white choc-chip cheesecake cookies in case you're wondering - and I'll be blogging about them soon!).<br /><br />We saw Dylan Moran on Friday night. He was brilliant and hilarious! I like how he's able to customise his shows to his audience (he made jokes about Australian politics and the Aussie accent).<br /><br />PS. Also just commented on your last blogpost, as I had to exclaim about all the nice-ness that you blogged about (even if I did do it a bit late).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882957900081933460.post-67773924105298405992009-05-17T12:12:00.000+12:002009-05-17T12:12:00.000+12:00Have a great time at your graduation and I love th...Have a great time at your graduation and I love the butter!!JillyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17473076090138059291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882957900081933460.post-41374839277710195292009-05-17T11:28:00.000+12:002009-05-17T11:28:00.000+12:00Oh you are so good with words Laura.

(Also misty and damp this morning but it adds to our bucolic charm). It was my original typo error but can you change the date of the Otaua Hall founding to 1898). <br /><br />Love the buttery blog. I know from which side of the family you inherited the butter gene. <br /><br />You would weep at some of the home baking and preserves that are on sale at the garage sale- carrot cake, home made spaghetti in home made tomato sauce, home made chocolate chippy biscuits,homemade pineapple and cauliflower pickle....
