. . Just finished the simmering and it's that gorgeous classic golden color with golden brown solids on the bottom. Smells so delicious! I can't wait till it's cooled and strained and ready to use. I'm baking a sweet potato to go with my leftover pot roast tonight, and it'll have yummy fresh ghee on it!

I LOVE the way we eat!

I know!!!!  
I was recently instructing my sister in law how to prepare her kitchen for my visit next month.  I told her the types of food that I eat and some of the ones I don't eat.  She sadly said "You're like my mother before she died.  You eat to live, not live to eat."  Well . . . yes.  But, she interpreted it as all the foods that I'm not able to eat (as in a disability), and I said, "but I love, love, love the foods I eat!"  I really don't think she believes me!  How can anyone not eat deep fried, breaded fish, pork chops, ham, mashed potatoes, fresh bread, coffee .. .. ..

Well ...  I just LOVE the way we eat!!

I had to save out the last dipperful of ghee, it was already so thick I couldn't get it through the strainer! I'll use it for dinner tonight and just take out everything but the little layer of solids on the bottom of the cup. Ooohh, so excited!

Victoria, I know what you mean. My good friend and canning buddy cannot understand why I'm eating what I eat, even though her own mom is celiac and she herself definitely has gluten intolerance at least. For a while, whenever we'd do lunch she'd always offer me something made with wheat and then try to tempt me into eating it until I finally said 'Look, if I eat that it will KILL ME eventually, so please stop waving it under my nose' and she quit . . . but she still thinks I'd be better off eating 'high fiber like whole wheat'. And she worries that I'm not drinking enough milk. *sigh* The propaganda machine has done its job well.

Anyway--I now have a whole quart of lovely golden yellow GHEE thickening up on my kitchen counter! Life is good, very good. And no high fiber whole wheat in sight.

lecithin content and lowering cholesterol....
L is contained in eggs and soy, to name a few
helps emulsify, and metabolize fat

Eat your egg yolks. Yummy and sooo good for you! Have a little ghee with them too. It'll freak out your doctor when you tell him. When I told mine his eyes widened and he spluttered 'But you can't DO that!' And yet somehow my overall cholesterol is down, and LDL down significantly . . . hehheh.

[b][/b] Wowwww after reading all these posts, Im super excited to DL the video and make my first Ghee, EVER!! Does anyone know if I can just use the regular grocery store variety unsalted butter? Thanks alot all for all your posts about this topic, very very helpful, and your spirit and attitude are inspiring to a newbie A like myself!!  

Organic butter would be best for health reasons. "Grocery store" butter will work.
