Ice Cream & Dragon’s Blood
Well, I have come to the conclusion that store bought ice cream is not at all like “MY” ice cream made with the cream off my Jersey cow’s milk! If folks tasted real ice cream they would never again buy ice cream from the grocery store because it is not the real deal. Today, I made Sweet Cream Ice Cream with Raspberry, Pecans and Chocolate; it is to DIE FOR!!! Of course the bowl I dished up was eaten too fast for me photograph and that says something right there. Here’s a pic of it in the making!

Also, I have been soaping AGAIN. I don’t know, I just can’t get around it. My soap is moving out almost as fast as my cheese and my lotion has left the farm in total, forcing me to make more this weekend. The new bars I made recently are all olive oil with goat milk and the scents are Dragon’s Blood, Night Sky and Felicity. I used my new Medieval Animals mold for the Dragon’s Blood and made the bar with a deep red swirl knowing the Dragon’s Blood scent would turn the soap a dark brown, so the scent was not put into the red. The bars did emerge a deep red color with the dark brown and are absolutely decadent, though non-edible. The Night Sky also will turn the soap dark, so this bar was made the same way only I used a different mold and ultramarine oxide instead of the iron oxide. It is turning more slowly than the Dragon’s Blood, but I think it will be just as stunning. The Felicity again accelerated the chemical process and turned out looking like a natural rock resembling agate, a deep red and ochre rock. The scent is fabulous though unexpected for a rock appearing soap.

And no you can’t eat the soap!

My next post will be our Fall Event Schedule for 2010 with the first being a new WIne Festival at the reconstructed Cloverdale Village in Appomattox on 28 August, 2pm to 8pm. Night Sky Farm will also be vending at the Foxfield Races in held Charlottesville on the 26 September. An exciting day for me and Meika watching the steeplechase event and the cross country racing. Oh, the horses! So, look for the next post with more info, dates and times.
Ok so let me be the first to order the soap and the lotion…. The Dragons Blood is my favorite lotion smell and the soap will give me a second layer… It is awesome. You are right about the ice cream … around here is a dairy farm right across the state line in DE that makes their own ice cream (ok so they are Delaware Jersey cows) and the taste in beyond good. there is NOTHING like real home made ice cream you must be in heaven!
