Well, once again while revelers were most likely asleep nursing hangovers from too much Auld Lang Syne, we were up and at 'em making the first cheese of the new year. And I must say I ENJOYED being in there today what with 16 degrees outside and a winter wind advisory and every section of the home cold! Especially since my cheese house with cheese being made must be a toasty 70 degrees for the cheese to develop properly. So what did I make on the first day of the new year? Butternut. The picture below shows Butternuts plank aging in our cave at about 5 months of age.
We are too old to drive over a half hour to see fireworks and toast the night away. We barely made it to 9:30 last night after feasting on bacon wrapped scallops, orange/lemon roasted shrimp and a big salad. Never made it to the beautiful Prosecco I received as a gift......Ah well, do I wish I could have gone into town? Life was simpler when we were young. Farming is complicated!
