Tomorrow I am going to make butter. I had no idea it was so easy.

Didn't you ever do it in elementary school? We used to pass some sort of container around the class and everyone got to shake it. And at the end, there'd be butter!

You should make cheese next. I've always wanted to learn how to make fresh mozzarella. Now that I have my heirloom tomatoes going and a nice basil plant, I'm going to need some for my caprese salad. ;)

I used to make butter last year whenever I'd visit magickalpony, but without a mixer. Simple, yes. Easy, no :)

The idea of "washing" butter scares me, and I'm curious how long homemade butter keeps. I want to hear all about your experiment with it!
