Challenge Day 5-Homemade Sour Cream

I've always wondered if you could make sour cream yourself.  We go through so much of it here with potatoes and a lot of Mexican cooking.  Here's a recipe I've found, but I haven't tried it yet.  I'm thinking that in order for it to be cost effective, you'd probably need your own cow or goat.


 


2 cups light cream


2 T. light buttermilk


Combine in a hot glass jar, canning jar. Cover and shake gently to mix.  Let stand in a warm place for 24-48 hours until thickened.  Store in the refrigerator.  This keeps up to three weeks.


Stay warm.

Belle's Challenge-The Compost Bin

I haven't tried this, but it's on my list for this spring.  I have a compost pile held in place by woven sheep wire and it just doesn't work for me.  I read about using old shipping pallets.  You take four pallets and stand them up.  Wire them together to form the bin and then just unwire and open like a door when you need to get in there.  One thing we aquired a large amount of when we move in here was shipping pallets.  The man who owned this place worked at Wal-Mart and brought home all kinds of treasures.  Does anyone have any other ideas for using these pallets?  It seems a shame to burn them.

Challenge-Homemade stationary

I used to print out stationary and cards on my printer.  But I grew tired of that.  Have to be too creative.  I like to take pictures, lots of pictures of flowers.  I have them developed and have doubles made.  Then I just use colored cardstock-cut in half-and cut down the 4"x6"pictures to fit the front.  These are easy and unique and seem to be much appreciated. 


Have a nice evening.
