Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

It rained all night, got a break to run into town for feed. No sooner I put up the feed in the barn, it starts raining again. Dont get me wrong, i'm not complaining... I enjoy teeshirt weather in late December and we really need the rain. Hopefully it'll fill up the aquifers. It's been dry here the last two years. Temperature wise, I would say t-shirt weather is pretty normal for December.

I know second winter is coming, it happensevery year... I picked up new door seals for the back door from menards. The front door seals are good. But both the front and back storm doors need new sweeps. Menards didn't have the right ones, I guess I'll look on ebay for the right ones.

it was a nice day today but yesterday it rained enough and we had strong enough winds to cause leaks in the roof again. when it is dripping on you when you are trying to take a nap that can be pretty annoying... it's happened before so it's not like we're new to this problem but it is also annoying by how long it is taking us to get this properly resolved.

The high winds had the power out for 4 hours last night, popped a shutter off, and set my garden cages into the brush on the property next to us.

I have to rant. Tried a Scottish shortbread recipe from the BBC yesterday. Had issues with the dough forming. Stayed almost too crumbly.

Thought about possible fixes like the basic reducing flour amount. Talked to hubby and we both decided that first I should try some Kerrygold butter to make it instead of the Dairygold I used yesterday. Higher butterfat like most UK butters.

I got a perfect dough with the different butter. Dry but not crumbly. As described in recipe without flour reduction.

How can it make that much difference?!

Wow - who would've thought that it would? Something to remember for sure!

It does! The butter was my gut instinct. It's amazing how different the products can be

And yet there is a Federal Standard of Identity for anything to be labeled Butter.

Interesting and curious if the ingredients list from the two, may show a difference?
