The beginning - because we have to start somewhere right?

I am calling this blog the lazy gardener because a few days ago I was working in my garden and my sister was visiting. As we talked I was describing the method we use to garden. As I described it she said "You guys are such hard working gardeners!" I said "Not! We are lazy gardeners if anything." And this blog was born. I had been thinking about starting a milk blog about my adventures in cheese, yogurt, and butter making. But wasn't sure if I had enough of that to talk about. Add some gardening and some of the animals we have around here and as Emeril says, "Bam!" My husband and I and our family are the adventurous independent sort. We like to try things and do things ourselves. Not that we are crazy about it. Its more like this - I started making homemade bread because I can control its ingredients. Now my husband likes it so much he won't let me not make it. Although the occasional loaf from the grocery store (in the freezer) will do in a pinch if we are out of homemade. We bought a whole bunch of all natural milk because it was an awesome price and froze it for cheese making. Well, life got hectic and then a cow was butchered (took up a lot of room in the freezer) and my husband was wondering if we were ever going to use the milk in the freezer. So I started making yogurt. Now he eats parfaits every morning with the yogurt, some granola, some berries and a banana. Loves it. Hates when we run out. And then I cracked open a year old parmesan a few weeks ago and it was delicious. And he started asking about what else was aging in the cheese fridge. Some of these hobbies start out with a crazy look from him and end up with all of us wondering how we ever did without! So join us in our adventures! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
