Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I do drink lovely milk, and tons of it! I have no idea how long it takes me to milk my cows, since I pay a man to do it for me, lol. When I first got them, I was terrified of them and really had no clue which end was which. Not wanting to not understand, I learned HOW to do it, but decided that 5 AM and 5PM every day was NOT good timing for me! I do milk them now and then, but not on a regular basis...I have a TRUE "milk man", lol. My daily milk amount is based on whether my cows are calving, in which case I have about 2 gallons a week, as hungry calves tend to take all mama cow can provide. As the cows naturally ween, I am often overrun with milk-thats when I make a lot of cheese to freeze for the off times. As for oranges, I used to be highly allergic to citrus, and this was discovered when I lived in the middle of a 40 acre orange grove! Talk about a tough one to avoid! I am probably clear of the allergy now, but I have learned not to tempt fate with going back to things that have formerly caused me to quit breathing-an activity that I am rather fond of!

By the way, totally OT, but how long does it take you to milk your cow every day and how much milk do you get? It sounds like a lot of hard work except that you can make butter in your Vitamix, not churn it by hand, thank God! I watched the butter video and yes it was weird to see the guy "tamping" down cream!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Y'know, I ran across Miniature Jerseys online! The perfect size with perfect milk output for a couple of families to share. SO cute, too. BTW, for those who are interested in a centrifugal juicer (not my thing but it's a matter of preference), this is a terrific deal and includes free shipping: http://cgi.ebay.com/MINT-ACME-CHALLENGER-ELECTRIC-JUICER-MODEL-7001-US-MADE-/110537094730?pt=Small_Kitchen_Appliances_US & hash=item19bc86364a . Acme used to make (HERE, NOT overseas) the best centrifugal juicers on the market until Waring bought them out--this is borne out by the fact that they still run after all these years (this one is probably from the '70s). The replacement filters sold today fit these old models just fine, so you wouldn't find yourself up a creek.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I would LOVE to have miniature Jerseys! Jerseys make a super rich, thick, sweet milk. I knew NOTHING about cows when I was desperate for raw milk, and bought the first 4 legged creatures I came across when the opportunity presented itself (THAT is a story all on its own) Now that I am more knowledgeable about critters that provide milk for food, I would certainly entertain the idea of getting some minis and keeping them right here in my yard (the town board would love that-had to fight them to let me keep a couple of chickens!) (another fun story) From: hatchjoyce <Joyce_Handy@...> Subject: Re: Orange un-Julius Date: Wednesday, January 19, 2011, 8:52 PM , I know that you drink milk--are you allergic to oranges?

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 They're ADORABLE and sweet, even the bulls. You can get pure Jerseys or various levels of cross-breds. They keep very strict records of what is bred to what; it seems that the cross-breeding exists to put some new genes in the pool. Once you get beyond 15/16 or so, you're dealing with a Jersey that's for all intents and purposes pure. And of course, there's that wonderful milk, although I understand that Guernsey milk is pretty good, too. Must be a Channel Island thing.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Do you leave the white pulp on for this drink and just take off the orange layer?

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 The pith is going to make for a result that's more bitter and healthful (lots of bioflavanoids).

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Don't use the peel. You can, of course, zest the orange part and freeze it for future use but the peel in its entirety is really inedible. Re: Orange un-Julius Terry--- I cut the peel and the pith off. Depending on how thick or thin you want the consistency of the drink to be, add more orange juice to whole oranges. I like the consistency of the recipe but one of my kids' friends thought it was too "pulpy." -Amber > > > I recently made a blog post about making an Orange Julius in my Vitamix.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 You can make delicious candied orange peel from the whole peel to keep from wasting it, but I would only do that from organic citrus.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 That's true but it's more or less pickled in sugar. Re: Orange un-Julius Terry--- I cut the peel and the pith off.
