Suzanne: When I was a kid (child), we had cows, pigs, chickens and all that stuff, but we, at one point, had an elderly Nanny goat who gave milk any old time we decided to start milking again, it had nothing to do with being with child. After your Nanny dries up, just go out there some day and give it a try, it just might work.

Good Luck, you’re doing a great job. Sorry I missed you at the Black Walnut Festival. You should have some of your stuff in the agricultural display, or maybe you did. I usually have a chair or two and some of my canned goods, but missed out due to time, or lack thereof.

Great Job – Hang in there.

Well, I’ve never heard of Apple Pandowdy but now that I have, I simply must have some! My problem is, now that I’ve read this entry I can’t just have any old Apple Pandowdy, I simply must have Apple Pandowdy made with goat milk!! I guess I’d better get busy finding someone with a goat!

I love this post, thanks for the honesty about using the fresh milk. I can see myself having this same debate someday.

Goat milk works wonders!!
My daughter has a Great Dane named Bruin. He’s 4 yrs old and her baby. In June he had an injury that caused a cervicle disk to bulge. His pain meds caused him stomach problems and he lost over 10 pounds in a week. Her vet suggested she mix goats milk in with his food to help him gain weight back. He LOVED IT!! He put on 15 pounds in less than 2 weeks and his stomach issues are over.

Good thing her Daddy raises goats!! Handy milk….

I also have a friend whose baby was alergic to formula so she got goats milk and developed normally and is healthy…

Lucky you… self suffecient- in the beautiful country… and Apple Pandowdy to boot!

How exciting to be able to have this experience! I will certainly live a bit vicariously through your blog.

Suzanne. Yay! I’m so envious of your fresh milk and future fresh eggs. The apple pan dowdy looks, well, scrumptious.

Suzanne are you going to build a barn for the goats off the basement door so you don’t have to go outside in the winter? Along with a breezeway to the chicken house?

Hey, if Princess likes the little mint ‘Andes Candies’ she’ll love my pie recipe. It’s JUST like the Kentucky Pie mentioned above (so I won’t post the entire recipe), BUT I ran out of vanilla one day & used peppermint extract in it’s place. NOW it’s a Chocolate Mint Pie!!!
(Nuts are optional…I leave them out.) I make 2 every Thanksgiving, and my teen nieces & nephews have declared it awewome, and said ‘Aunt Donna, you rock!’ *G* Give it a try. If you like it really chocolatey use the entire bag of chips, if you like it less choc…just cover the bottom of the pan w/ chips.
