Brings back memories from many years ago when my father did just that, and the family never let him forget about it;) So I am very relieved that yours wasn't a 'disaster' story - the ginger and lime sounds delicious, and so easy!<br /><br />Lesley xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-22870547333929563802013-02-06T08:15:14.568+10:002013-02-06T08:15:14.568+10:00I think it would keep fine for 6 weeks or so but p...I think it would keep fine for 6 weeks or so but please not in plastic as the acids will leach chemicals out of that.

I just leave it on the bench for a day, the next day i make the butter. As the culture is a living organism, i don't need to add anything else to it.It lasts for ages. <br />I love drinking it. But it is an acquired taste. My dad says it reminds him of butter milk. You can look it up on the internet I think the best site is <br />Dom's, link below. I don't think im explaining it very well.<br />http://users.sa.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html<br />If interested i can mail some up to you. <br />Wendy<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-70024007298673353872013-02-06T03:15:39.954+10:002013-02-06T03:15:39.954+10:00One thing you forgot to mention, when making this ...One thing you forgot to mention, when making this Ginger Fizz syrup, the house smells incredible!

Here in the South of Germany it is snowing again.<br />Will your ebook on dairy be available for European customers, too? I'd love to get a few new ideas for dairy and cheese. <br />I've just "opened" my fist blog and I'm working on my first ebook too, a novel set here in the Odenwald and in Provence in France. I must be suffering from "old age slowness" too (LOL),because it is indeed sometimes slow going. But those grey cells get rattled around and have something new to think about, so I'm quite optimistic that I'll stay sound and sane.<br />Best wishes from the South of Germany. <br />HeikeHeikehttp://www.regenbogenkombuese.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-42371583671417712352013-02-05T19:28:01.835+10:002013-02-05T19:28:01.835+10:00The ginger fizz sounds excellent, I'll have to...The ginger fizz sounds excellent, I'll have to give that one a go for sure.

One part of me is nostalgic for the taste and texture of it and the other starts quaking as for some reason I always did something that required those rather large butter pats to make connection with my bottom. When i chastise my mother now she tells me i was quite a cheaky kid and probably deserved it. Funny how we connect a period of time to food and for me it home made ginger beer and home made icecream and butter (and the pats).<br /><br /><br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12605358521258969537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-67344983854974836302013-02-05T11:37:58.441+10:002013-02-05T11:37:58.441+10:00Thanks Melissa, I appreciate that.

Your blog has been such a comfort to me, and helped me work through (and learn to value) the mixed up feelings I have had about being a homemaker. When I'm down, I look through and feel better, and when I'm up (which is most of the time) I look through and think, "Right! Right, you're oh-so-right!" I wanted the book not just for all the great stuff I'm sure is inside, but also to show you I think your work has value. So, thank you for everything you do.Melissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-10205228943429434392013-02-05T10:11:15.099+10:002013-02-05T10:11:15.099+10:00Hi Rhonda, I have this book, it was a treat to mys...Hi Rhonda, I have this book, it was a treat to myself last year.

I've tried lots of stuff since getting my two Jersey girls (sadly cream is still scarce as I'm sharemilking with the calves and Mamas rightly holds up the rich hind milk for babies) but love to try new things and see how other people do it. <br /><br />If you find a resource that help 'translate' the dose of rennet between manufacturers, it would be so helpful.
