Butter

So, in need of something more hands on... less workbook...

Gabi choose to make butter... and we actually had the whipping cream on hand to do it. This is the "simple" version of butter making... the next time we do it, we'll get some raw milk and do it start to finish, collecting the cream ourselves.

Anyway, we took the whipping cream, added a dash of salt, put it all in the mixer, put on the whisk and the shield, and turned it on high... we kept stopping along the way so the kids could see the different stages... and then...

Butter!

And it was yummy indeed! Gabi even decided it was better than "Gabi butter" (margarine) and that's saying something.. since she doesn't like "Daddy butter" (store bought butter).
