I don't need another hobby, I don't need another hobby, I don't need another hobby.

Very cool Carolyn!  Homemade mozzarella rocks! 

Did you use lipase powder in it? 


I had a grilled cheese sandwich yesterday for lunch WITH my cheddar ;D  I think the pepperjack can be cut this weekend  :)

Deb,
I just used citric acid and the concentrate rennet.  Do you use lipase?  I remember reading about it but I forgot why it's used?
Can't wait to see the pepperjack!

It's just rolled into a ball with your hands no press required like the firmer cheeses.
If you haven't made your first cheese yet this is an easy one and it's ready to eat right away.
The green eggs are from Easter Egger chickens.....really.

10.5,
Oh, yes you do need another hobby  :D
With this cheese you make those beautiful rolled cheeses with the basil that your sweetie picked up for you in WI.
How 'bout that?

Deb,

The military school I went to in Virginia for elementary school had a 2000 acre farm attached.  In the spring when the cows ate the spring onions in the fields, we had onion flavored milk.  One day some of the boys threw rocks at the cows that were in the field next to the playground area.....needless to say that when a cow runs it affects the milk.  We all had to drink the milk as a punishment.  We on several rare occasions had to drink raw milk due to pasteurizer not working.
 
....Oh and Deb........I'll expect monthly checks to help support my new cheesemaking interest!!!   ;D ::) ;D

I think Martha likes Black Copper Marans since she was paroled.  :D
They lay super dark eggs...like chocolate colored.  Do a search on Ebay and you can see them selling the fertile hatching eggs there for big $!

Uhh.  did a little googling - beautiful eggs, but the description on one site said that the brown is not in the shell as normal "brown" eggs, but rather deposited on the egg as it is in the process of passing through her body while being laid.  Uhh---brown deposits from that end of a chicken----uhhhh----ummmm------sounds suspicious!
