Azure Standard

Ok, so last month was our first GO with Azure & I think I can speak for Tami when I say we are in love!  *smile*
Here's a few snaps of our loot:
Tami is dividing up the grains (we shared Soft White Wheat, Hard Red, Kamut, Spelt, Oat Groats & Rye
We Split a 25 lb tub of Raw Honey (my leftover 32 oz Agave Nectar jugs worked out great for that!)
We split a box of pears, Tami took hers home & the Chu Babies devoured them in short order.  I made about 2 gazillion batches of jam. ;)
This was my share of grains!
We also split a 10 Doz. box of Fertile Eggs three ways (with Terri), they are huge & wonderful!  After a month, Tami only needed to buy another dozen form TJ's before our next order, Terri still had plenty  & I had just run out.  This month just Tami & I split, so 5 dozen each!  Woo hoo!

As I said, this was January, so we've ordered again, Tami bakes bread 2-3 times a week, so she was thrilled to get a 50 lb. bag of Red Wheat for like $30!  She's also kept up using Soft White for all her baked goods like cakes & cookies, etc... with a noticeably finer texture!  Awesome!

Raw Milk

I had been mulling over in my mind a post to share with my fellow So Cal nourished bloggy friends how, where & when they could obtain a 'deal' on fresh RAW MILK straight from the company....but Cheeseslave beat me to it.  Please check out her wonderfully informative post & go show Sean & the good folks at Organic Pastures some love & support, they deserve it!  (Do you know how hard they are fighting, on a constant basis, to keep Raw Milk legal...?)
Anyway, I asked if I could mix & match my 10 Dairy items to earn a freebie & he so graciously allowed it!  So cool!  I know I can freeze it, but I didn't really have a lot of space in my freezer to stock up, so I got 2 milks for me, 2 for a friend, & 7 Creams!  (2 for mom & 1 for a friend at work who's trying the Maker's Diet & was curious)  Next time I'll stock up on Milk, and maybe instead of making the trip every 2 weeks, I can aim for once a month.  
I shared the concept of "raw milk" with a friend at work & I am really hoping she tries it so I can share a true life success story!  She has Lactose Intolerance (newly, as an adult) and her daughter is always sick & has allergies... Also, another friend's little boy was born allergic to SO many things, so I brought her some from my 'run' on Saturday & am anxious to hear how it treats him!...
In the meantime, instead of biting your nails waiting for updates on these stories, please take moment to check out this site & voice your God-given freedoms to vote for the legalization of Raw Milk!!  Thanks

**update**
My friend's little boy had raw milk yesterday & NO allergic reactions!!! I'm so stoked!

Me? Well....I have a day job selling travel to beautiful far away lands, and I love to travel - my job sort of supports & feeds the 'travel monster' inside me. But my other inner monster is: food in all it's facets. I have a 13 yr old DS from a previous life, and married the lovely JoeBacon a three years ago! I finally became a home-owner at that point, we did a huge addition/re-model right away to make the house a bit bigger & I got a wonderful new kitchen out of the deal! I've gone thru Culinary School twice (mostly for fun) 'cuz I love to cook! And thru reading/doing the Maker's Diet 2 years ago, became aware of Sally Fallon, Weston Price, etc...and now after about 9 months of exploring their world, I'm trying to really make it all part of mine. I've had some things turn out great & others have been miserable failures, but I'm learning a LOT (mostly from my fellow NT Bloggers)!! Now I'm enjoying my yard, garden, sprouting, baking bread, brewing Kombucha, using raw milk, making Kefir & Yogurt & just trying to find small ways to make yummy food better for us.
