Goats milk, seed starting and few other things.

I found a supplier of fresh goats milk. I am so excited to try goat cheeses, goat soap and anything else I can think of. I have been going through my cheese making book all morning trying to figure out what to do with this gallon of goats milk. Its a good thing that I have 12 more gallons headed my way in the weeks to come.

Today is also the day you can start your cabbage and cauliflower seeds indoors with first planting of them outdoors March 15. Do not freak out if you arent ready to start yours indoors today. You have a few weeks to get started and not have to worry. Onion sets can be put in the ground on March 1 so you may want to start looking around for where you want to buy those too.

The budget is going along very well. I only spent $90 this week to feed our family of 4 adults. I bought frozen egg rolls and potstickers to go with some fried rice and that was a little pricey but cheaper than ordering takeout and I have enough to do without making them homemade this week. Its okay to pay for convenience. Well as long as its in the budget.

 Mr Ladybug doesnt think we can stick with our  $20 to Redbox Budget for the year.  I have already figured it out that if I stick with the weekly codes that make movies only .27 and collect the 100 points towards each rental and get a free movie with every 1500 points we could easily watch 75 movies for that $20. I am not even sure we can watch that many movies or if we would want to. I think we have watched 7 so far this year.

Remember the 10 pounds of chicken I got for .79 last week. I oven fried it added salad greens from the garden and made some egg noodles and fed the for of us for around $3.50 total.

Its going to be cold this weekend so I see us staying home mostly and enjoying the fire. We may head out to catch our favorite sax player in the pep band at their college and while there watch the basketball game.

Todays agenda is move some firewood to the back porch, get the kitchen ready to make cheese, separate and freeze the 10lb spiral ham I bought yesterday, make some sausage for Sunday's breakfast, make laundry soap, cook the rice early for todays dinner, make some bread, pick up some of the sticks in the yard and put them in the garage to dry to use in fire starting, feed all the outdoor animals, and the normal laundry and picking up around the house. I need a nap just reading all of that.
