Good surprise


Yesterday I had that impending milk inspector feeling....so I did just a little extra on the everyday tidying and cleaning that that the milk house gets. I even mentioned to Alan that I expected to see the inspector soon. (I have learned to always act on that niggling sense of doom.) Then in a flurry of paying bills and freezing zucchini and making our favorite rice, sausage and fresh vegetable bake for dinner I forgot all about it.

Imagine my surprise when Liz brought that thing up there over to the house. Sure enough the milk inspector had been here, but not to inspect. (Due to personnel issues nobody made it to the cooperative annual meeting so we didn't even know we were nominated for this.)

Not that we haven't won Super Milk before, because when we were in Canajoharie Coop we won several years and have another big sign like this and a number of the smaller signs with the year on them. However since we have been in Producers Coop we haven't won one.
So we didn't expect it.
And a lot of other things have been going very, very wrong.
So this was nice to find instead of the usual note about all the stuff we need to clean up or fix.

That's great, how nice not to get a list of must-do's, when things haven't been going too great.

Congratulations, you guys deserve it for all your hard work.

Linda, thanks, that is exactly how we felt about it. lol

Jan, thank you, it really is

Nita, thanks, everyone is so busy, I was dreading trying to come up with time for milk house stuff

Tipper, thanks, I will get it down when I get a chance. Simple enough though. Brown the sausage, add some uncooked rice and enough water to cook it..plus a little, cream of mushroom soup, and veggies. In winter we use frozen, in summer whatever we have. Broccoli and cauliflower are good...carrots, beans and such. We season it with onion garlic Italian seasoning etc. Add very sharp cheddar cheese chunks and bake.
More or less. lol

Matt, thanks, love you too. A little better today. Got two heifer calves yesterday and you know who finally decided to go buy the darned tires so things can move forward again....take care!

Deb, thanks, I do too. As I just told my brother. At least we got two girls yesterday, which is really welcome in this summer of the bull.
