Goat’s milk Soap Just like CHEESE !!
Goat’s Milk Soap is a Good Gift for all ages and skin . I can say that many people with skin issues tend to like to use our goat’s milk soaps because of what they offer the skin. Between vitamin A and lactic acid, goat’s milk is the way to go.=D .

I may  be obsessed with  cheese (are you, too?), so the fact that we live near  from Whole Foods Market, North Raleigh  the most diversity  cheese shop  from France to Swiss , is fabulous and a little dangerous. I love the Parmegiano Regiano , The Triangle’s newest Whole Foods Market, which recently celebrated its first anniversary, provides one of the best bets when it comes to cheese buying in Raleigh.    (and give samples!).

Softer cheeses work best with a butter knife. Harder cheeses, like Parmesan, are good with a triangle-shaped knife.

Thanksgiving Recipe from Biltmore Estate:
George Vanderbilt’s Favorite Turkey and Cornbread Dressing

Ingredients:
  • 20–25 pound turkey
  • Cornbread, prepared
  • 6 buttermilk biscuits, prepared
  • 1 dozen eggs, hard-boiled
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup ground sage
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Method
  • Rinse turkey and rub with salt inside and out.
  • Using a large boiler or cooker, place turkey in enough water to almost cover it (one gallon or more).
  • Heat to boiling point and cook on medium for about 2 1/2 hours or until breast is tender; use a ladle to baste broth over the breast meat to keep it moist.
  • For cornbread dressing: Bake a large pan of cornbread using your favorite cornbread recipe.
  • Bake about six buttermilk biscuits using your favorite recipe, or purchase frozen biscuits and bake.
  • Peel eggs and chop or grate them into large mixing bowl. Add onions, celery, sage, salt and pepper. Crumble cornbread and biscuits into bowl.
  • When turkey is done, pour turkey broth over the cornbread dressing until the desired consistency is reached. Mix well, using plenty of broth so that dressing will be moist and soft when done.
  • Place turkey in center of large baking pan. Spoon dressing into and around turkey. Bake in 425ºF oven for about 45 minutes. If turkey browns too soon, cover with aluminum foil.
  • Serves eight to ten
The creator of this recipe, Ellen Davis, came to Biltimore House from the community of Avery Creek in the spring of 1899 to work as a cook for the Vanderbilt. She fell in love with Thomas H. Johnson, a groomsman in the Stables, and they were married the following spring. This recipe was a favorite of George and Edith Vanderbilt’s, and it became a tradition for Ellen Johnson to prepare it for them each year.
