Small pleasures

I started this morning by watching Skittles kittens toddling around exploring their bigger world of the kitchen before she got too nervous and dragged them all back in the crate lol. If they try to go too fast their feet go flying and they go rolling lol. They are just sooo cute!

Then I milked Taffy and came in and put the milk on to pasteurize and went out and picked broccoli, cauliflower and snap peas. Once the milk was pasteurized I turned the heat up on the water in the double boiler and blanched the veggies. As soon as they cool I'll put them into freezer bags for stir fry this winter.

Now on the counter there are quart jars of milk cooling and bright green veggies cooling. It looks so pretty!
