Blogging Business

I wonder how much blog readers are affected by the settings the blogger chooses.

This morning I almost forgot to write my blog as I was playing with the colors. There are so many; background colors, different levels of texts to color, borders. They all interact. I am trying to find the colors that are easiest on my eyes.

I expect I will be playing with the settings a bit. Let me know what you think, particularly if my choices have some effect on you.

What's your favorite beverage?

I have a passion for coffee.

I love milk and cream (*don't ask, don't tell) vanilla milkshakes and malteds, hot chocolates. Sodas, wines and liquors, which I like a great deal seem a separate class of drinks as they can be habit forming. I learned to LOVE water as an adult.
And I must confess, I have never been able to like beers!

WHAT DO YOU LOVE TO DRINK?






* (Remember I did have a cow, so drinking cream MIGHT not seem as odd in that context, I hope)

Navigating a Blog

There is so much to learn about how to blog. To make the page come out the way it is seen in draft.

This is an adventure in every way. Chime in if you have any particular knowledge regarding any facet of BLOG. I'm sure to learn after a while so laugh with me as I bumble along...

The windy storms have managed to knock out what was left of both hives. Luckily, before we went south, I ordered 2 Nucks from the Better Bee in Greenwich. The weatherman says we are stuck in a scattered snow holding-pattern for the next four days.

The people of Chile are suffering. They must live on top of a fault line. This earthquake was said to be 8.8.

Finding Good Things to Drink

My quest to find healthful beverages has led me to investigate making beer and wine, cow's milk, soda, and now soy milk. That picture of a package of frozen soy beans is a bit misleading as my research tells me that you cannot make soy milk from fresh (or fresh frozen) soy beans.

"Fresh green soybeans are not mature enough to have enough protein to make milk. Mature soybeans are yellow and hard even on vines."

That's what the folks at Sanlinx, Inc. in Tennessee said. They sell items for making soy milk. They helped me find a source for bulk soybeans and a specific type of soybean to buy, Laura soybeans. The order will probably be here by next Friday.

Here's the knot. Is soy milk a milk or a juice? What makes a milk, a milk?

til tomorrow....

Birth of MILKING THE BEAN

Yes, Jayne


I hear the call to adventure.





I try to keep thoughts of transformational energy in my sight. Turning sadness and loss into positive energy as with my new project...

MAKING SOY MILK


From the ashes of my dreams of having a Jersey Cow again and making the 'farm' ever more self sufficient to researching the beautiful soy bean.

So here it is: MILKING THE BEAN
