Nearing the end

Finally, here is our new nest. Not 100% completed, but yes, its been a long journey with lots to do now!

Rangehood & Stove not in yet.


Our theatre room - with no spare cash to deck out.. :(

This is again disappointing- all the tiles have been smeared with concrete and my scrubbing did not help at all. Again, this needs to be addressed by the builder.

View from Balcony


Our ensuite.


Common Bathroom

Obviously, more updates soon!

RAW Mioolk

This is about the most yummy milk I've tasted, RAW milk, UNpasterised and UNhomogenised.  The least proces, the more nutrients.

The process of milk as follow:

Pasteurization: Involves heating every particle of milk to a specific temperature for a specified period of time and cooling it again without allowing recontamination. Pasteurization is performed for two reasons;
Ensure all milk products are safe for human consumption by destroying all bacteria that may be harmful to health (pathogens).

2. Improve the keeping quality of milk by killing or inactivating some undesirable enzymes and spoilage bacteria.

Homogenisation: Involves pushing the raw milk through an atomizer to form tiny particles so that the fat is dispersed evenly throughout the milk, stopping the fat from floating to the top of the container.

The debate on Raw Milk Vs. Pasteurized (Cooked) Milk
“There is no substitute for clean raw milk as a food so far as children are concerned. Science has not yet succeeded in providing, in the pasteurized variety, those essential qualities that are the only real foundation for a healthy child.”

But some say its dirty and full of bacteria.

Have you wondered why so many people are now allegic to milk and shows intolence?

Clean raw milk is an ideal food. Naturally present in raw milk are lactic acid producing bacteria (Lactobacillus). These bacteria are beneficial to the human digestive system. They control, even kill, pathogenic bacteria that may be found in milk straight from the cow. The lactic acid bacteria are helpful in controlling yeasts and fungi in the human intestinal tract.
The process of these high heat kills lactic acid and hence, this is the acid that counteracts with lactose. without this, people are more likely to be intolerant to milk.
Everyone can choose to believe what they want, this seems best for us :)
