Update on the Calf
The calf has not been taking the noon feeding. I think it has been because it is too full. I have cut back to feeding a full bottle twice a day.

Cream of Wheat
One of my favorite breakfast food is a bowl of cream of wheat. It is one of my ultimate comfort foods. I take mine with a pat of butter, a splash of cream and a spoonful of homemade jelly. My mother would feed it to us as children. It was cheap to make and veryContinue reading “Cream of Wheat”
