The Dairy Farm and San Antonio

This morning got up and made some korma. Well really, we mostly got up and watched Aunty Bobby make the korma. We're great at that. We have been missing korma (or Grandma candy as it's been referred to) for a long time and were glad have some again. There is nothing like watching Aunty Bobby finishing stir the korma and then very carefully picking up a piece of the pipping hot sweet and enjoying it before anyone else even knows it's there. All eight of us were watching and waiting for her to finish stirring, but the more people to share the first taste with, the sweeter it is. 

Aunty Bobby, our cousins Amelia and her baby and all of us went to go visit Khalil and Mandy at their house. We picked up our second cousins Marryyam and Leena on the way. When we got there Mandy was busy, busy, busy making all of us a wonderful dinner. A while later our cousins Tamara and her five kids, Aseyah and husband, and Adam joined us and Mandy entertained and fed 22 guests with grace and ease. 

Khalil came home, everyone else left and that's when the real fun started. We stayed up until fajr talking, laughing and sharing jinn stories. It was great. Mandy made the most delicious and elaborate breakfast I have ever had. We had more fried roti! After we ate, all twelve of us got ready and hit the road for San Antonio with detour to a dairy farm. 

We drink only raw cow's milk. That means it's straight from the cow with no pasteurization or homogenization. It's delicious and incredibly good for you. Well we ran out, and they don't just sell it at Publix's, so Mom hopped on the internet and found a place near us that sold it and we went on down. It was so much fun. The cows were so cute. I didn't know a cow could be cute, but these were adorable. We pet the baby calves and climbed on top a huge stack of hay. We even milked a cow! We watched as the cows lined up to be milked and then went into the milking room and watched as the guy cleaned and hooked up the cows to the machines and milked them. We even tasted the milk warm when we milked it. It was a extraordinary learning experience. 

When we got to San Antonio it was maybe an hour before dark. We walked around on the River Walk for a couple hours and then had dinner at one of the restaurants. The company was much better than the food. It was a very nice visit.
