Day Thirty-Seven, of Lent!

Today has been really good... It was the last day of testing review and I only got two questions wrong! We have testing this Monday and I hope that I do well! I have been forgetting to mention this but, my mom has been making this drink/food thing called kefir. The kefir that they sell in stores that looks and tastes like yogurt drink is not really kefir... Trust Me!!!!!!... Kefir is made from putting these things called "grains" that look so nasty... Kinda like hard clear jelly... In a jar, then adding milk to the jar, and putting it in a cabinet or corner and letting it "ferment". Or what I call "spoil" haha... The result looks like spoiled, clumpy milk, but it smells like yeast and tastes sour (not spoiled). I will have pictures tomorrow when it is done fermenting. My mom has been making it every day for about two weeks... And she loves it! Although I do not have pictures of the kefir itself. I did take pictures of the cake me and my mom made with it... Yes I said cake made with kefir! I will post the pictures later...

Pics!
Kefir Jar...
I told you it looked like spoiled clumpy milk!
Cake!
Kefir is really good for baking it makes things rise better! You can't even taste it in cake, pancakes, biscuits ect... Unfortunately by cooking it you loose the health benefits but, whatevs I like to say that there is kefir in my food haha! (It makes it sound healthy even though it's not... Shhhhhh it's our little secret haha!)
We made home-made frosting it was really simple and very sweet and delicious!

As Rachel Ray would say,"Yummo!" The home-made frosting was really good! My little sisters liked it allot! I even liked it as well as store-bought frosting... Sorry Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Duncan Hines ect. HAHA! Cheaper too!
