One of the gals in on my farmwife group list told me when I said we were going to sell our cows and then do some relief milking..........."Boy, I wish I could hire you to come and milk my cows when we go on vacation." I told her "pay my way and I will". She does. I live in Wisconsin, she lives in New York..........pays my airfare out. Usually the SU drives out, takes in a NASCAR race, then comes to the farm and we drive back. She pays me in cash! Lovely, unreportable cash!!!!!! I also house-sit, as I stay in her house, and I bake for her. I bake LOTS. Last time I was out there I had the SU bring my Kitchenaid mixer, as all she has is a little Sunbeam. I was so glad I had him bring it, I had a wonderful time. I think I used about 20 pounds of flour, at least........probably 12 pounds of butter, 10 pounds of brown sugar...............It was so fun. I made her quite a few batches of cookie dough. Mixed it up, wrapped it up good, and put the baking directions on the container. Then when she wanted fresh cookies, all she had to do was thaw the dough.
I also made 6 dozen cinnamon rolls. Let the dough make its first rise, then formed the rolls and cut them. Then I wrapped each roll individually in double saran wrap and put 6 rolls into a ziplock bag. All she had to do was the last rise along with the thaw and bake. I'd travel just to bake for someone.
