I remember as a kid on my Mum's Farm they had a butter churn next to the water tank.

Even though we milked every morning, I was the only one who turned the churn.

Something like this below ...

Greetings NPT. Got the recipe off YouTube...first link searching 'pumpkin soup recipe' I think, a young kid. Flavouring components were sauteed onion, carrot, garlic and fresh rosemary. I added some cracked black pepper will sauteing and salt once liquidized. We enjoyed it but was lacking something and your suggestion sounds good. While eating I was thinking about maybe ginger or galangal. Will give your suggestion a go but not till I try a roasted pumpkin version with the other half of the wife's pumpkin. Regards, -BiP

Has to be disassembled for the eating TC. I leave jaw re-hinging matters to the wife.

You didn't?

I can also remember as a kid of around 6-8 in the mid-60s we hand milked a couple of cows and twice a week most of the milk would go into a hand cranked cream separator. Kind of a dull aluminium device you clamped to the kitchen table or counter edge. Don't recall we ever went the next step and made butter though.

Fresh pla nin out of the pond, filleted...



Poached in milk and butter with couple of our bantam's eggs. Delicious!

Photo doesn't do it justice as the fish just falls apart.

We have germinated some peas and I'll do a garden thread dedicated to your love of peas.

^Expect a green or comment from Jeff for that, but he'll say any cutlery is Western-centric Siwalai and he eats with his fingers. As do most people who live on a diet of Macca's and KFC in America though..

Tough audience, I wish I'd mashed the potatoes now!

Just to be clear, there is a knife inbetween the two plates, a Qatar Air knife to go with the Qatar fork and spoon on the left for my daughter. I don't know where my knife went, probably just out of view...

Well, he's not going to have tile cleaner on them.

Fresh peas out of a pod yes please but I will take a hard pass on them cooked the way you lot eat them. Almost as bad as creamed corn.

Frozen, then microwaved . . .



My wife and one of the girls are in Christchurch for a long week-end, so I get to have my peas and corn, with a dash of salt and butter . . .

Agreed

Corn stuck in your teeth. . . the string as well . . . butter all over the face . . . no, thank you. There's a reason I learned how to eat with utensils
