sweet, sweet butter

At the farmers market on Sunday I bought a pint of whole milk. After a lifetime of skim, I can't bring myself to drink whole milk, but this is the first time that milk has been sold at the market, so I wanted to support it. Also, the guy told me that if I let it sit overnight in the fridge, it would separate and the milk on the bottom would be lower fat. So I left it in the fridge for a couple of days, and then remembered that you can make butter by putting cream in a jar and shaking it. Perfect! So tonight I went to go harvest my cream. The milk had indeed separated, and I could see that the stuff on top was pretty thick. But the neck of the bottle was too narrow to fit a spoon, so I did my best to pour off the cream. I don't think it worked very well. So I have a partial bottle of non-homogenized milk with cream, and a very agitated jar of cream with milk.

edit: No! I have a jar of milk with a big lump (and by big I mean like a tablespoon) of butter in it! Sweet!
