Home From A Day of Free

So today I decided to take the kids to our neighboring health foods store. They had all sorts of booths set up with free healthy foods and beverages, all in honor of earth day. They also had giveaways, and games for the kids. It worked really nice and the kids got their faces painted. They loved that more than anything. I am really happy that I got a free reusable tote. I love those, and am thrilled to death to have it!
I am also looking forward to some raw milk from a friend of mine ;) I don't know who's more excited her or me, lol! Well, in all actuality, she probably is. But, I'm really a close second.
Oh yes, I found a carton of Coconut milk at Whole Foods today. That was a true treat! I love all things coconut. Oil, cream, milk, flakes, kefir, flour, vinegar. You name it, and if it's coconut, I've tried it. But, this wasn't like ANY thing I've tasted. It's so mild in flavor that the kids, who don't like coconut flavor, totally go for it in their cereal. Since my daughter is dairy free, coconut is a great alternative for us due to its high fat content and creamy consistency. I can't wait to try kefir with it!!
Oh yeah, on the kefir front, I've already got a half gallon made. And another fermenting.....how neat! Soaked grains, here we come. And cheese, and sour cream, and cream cheese. I love that stuff!
Well, I must be going. The kids are running out of places to hide in our tiny house. So, I need to regulate.
