CRG!  :D :D :D
Well, you are ready!
I'm still reading the book myself.
I'm thinking about trying a soft cheese after I finish all my Christmas chores.
Have you started reading?

Cool CRG!

I have read the book ;D (a few times).  The goal is to spend Sunday making cheese.  If humanly possible (but I usually line up more than possible on a weekend) we will be making mascarpone, 30 minute mozzarella and farmhouse cheddar.   My cousin is coming over to do it with me and I warned her that we had to take pictures through the process :D

The mascarpone should keep for a couple weeks and I'm thinking cannolis for Christmas.  I may make a batch of ricotta next weekend so we can compare fillings ;D

For anyone that might be interested that book is pretty inexpensive on amazon.  It is written by the woman at this website http://www.cheesemaking.com/ which is where I have bought most of my supplies. 

I have also been doing some reading here http://cheeseforum.org/  the people here are helpful though they don't seem to get quite as off topic as this forum :D

I am going to read about the cheese mentioned so it won't seem like a foriegn language when you post

"Watch Deb cut the Cheese" ;D

That's a cheesy joke and I will stop.

I really didn't know I got lucky and got the exact book until I relooked at Caribou's post.

Looking forward to you great cheese making skills. And Thanks.

I think Mascarpone is the first one I want to attempt.
I always see Giada putting it on everything and I have never tasted it before.

It's an old PC case, laying on it's side full of charcoal..   I definitely wouldn't eat anything off of that!

[/quote]OMG it is a computercase, good catch Squirt. I would think that once you burned it real good there would be no contaminates left. After all they use old oil drums to make some pretty good grills.
