Tasty!

Mmmm!!  So good.  I love food.  Almost any kind of food.  But I really REALLY like sweet treats!!

In order to enjoy these treats, I must make them.  Or bake them rather. 

Just wanted to share a couple tasty treats I've made recently!! Yum yum!

Red Velvet Cake for a dear friend's Birthday!

 Cinnamon Rolls!!  Because I can't resist!

 And although I can't seem to get the picture to turn correctly, this is Rhubarb Pie with Meringue Topping! Never made a meringue before!  So tasty!

New Life

On a dairy farm, it is common to see the miracle of life happen every single day.  No matter how many times I see a cow birth her calf, it is always such a special event. 

Twins are no different!!  It is amazing to have a cow have one baby, but to give birth to two new lives is even more incredible.  This year on our farm we have had so many sets of twins, more than I think we've ever had in a few short months. 

One cow in particular, Lu, had a fine set of twins, one boy and one girl.  I knew Lu was a super cow even before I knew what a good cow should look or be like.  Miss Lu is now ten years old, still looks and milks like she's a young five year old, and was able to birth twins like an old natural.  She's so great! 

Her twins calves are no different.  Born a couple months ago, they were so excited about their new surroundings after being born, and were up and running around in no time.  They were so darn cute too when first born!!  I just couldn't let them grow up any further without capturing them at their finest!!  New babies are always the finest!! 

 Aren't they just the cutest???

I don't know anything more remarkable or amazing than new life!!  It is a miracle each and every time!

Confused

There are just some things that I don't understand.  Actually, there are a lot of things I don't understand.  However, something in particular has been bothering me lately. 

I have come to find certain bits of veganism and vegetarianism that completely baffle me. 

If a person chooses to be a vegetarian or even go vegan, why do they want their veggie burgers to taste like beef or other meat burgers?  A veggie burger should be just that, a combination of vegetables cooked into a patty put between two slices of bread or bun.  If you want a real 'burger' that tastes like a hamburger, go to a local meat counter. 

Also, why would a person who is vegan eat any kind of cheese, even if it is not made with animal products?  Cheese is made from milk.  Anything else is not cheese. 

I just don't understand if a person makes an entire diet change to not eat meat or any products that come from animals, why would they still want the satisfying taste of a burger or cheese? 

I am not looking for an answer, nor do a mean to offend anyone.  I just wanted to share my confusion.
