I got my book and I am ready for class. When do they start.

Caribou · December 10, 2009, 08:41:43 PM

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?

Geez, I'm glad I wasn't the first one to say that.

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!
