1 to 4 months on that one.  We'll probably cut it open at 1 and taste it & then bag it back up.

Pretty amazing, Deb! 
When Scott and I were at the store today, we saw some chocolate cheese. 
Have you ever heard of that?  I was curious, but not enough to buy any.

Caribou & CRG,

it's not pretty but..........



June,
I have heard of it but never had it.  I have been reading alot of posts on a cheese forum and it's been discussed lately.  I can get some really good chocolate milk from a local farm & have thought about trying some chocolate cream cheese or mascarpone.  I figure it would make a really good dessert base.

Caribou

Wow chocolate cheese...that's gotta be good  ;D
One cheese I just love that reminds me of a dessert is blueberry stilton....I love that stuff.

It all looks amazing. As soon as I try a few more sausages, I'm going to start making cheese.

as soon as I make a couple more cheeses I'm going to try making some sausages ;D :D  (dry cured that is)

Caribou

Deb,
can you use that little frig for your dry cured sausage?

maybe,  I have to play around with the humidity & see if it will work.  I think Habs had tried with a small one and wasn't able to control it enough.  Problem with the small fridge is there isn't much space for humidifier/heater etc.

Danged, Deb,  I'm not liking you right now!   ;D ;D  I have purposefully NOT looked at this link.  I don't need another hobby, I don't need another hobby, I don't need another hobby.  Then I peeked and dang it I guess I will have to dig out the old cheesemaking kit that I never got around to using!  Now to see if I can abscond with my daughters old dorm frig!

Hi Guys!
I made some mozzarella and it's all Deb's fault!  ;):D :D :D
I put a pictorial on my blog and I'm too lazy to cut and paste it here.
So, here's the link:

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  :)
