Cool
name for a cheese huh? It's just a raw, hard goat milk cheese. That's
what I'm making today. It sounds pretty easy, and it's so hot out, I
thought I might as well use that to my advantage and do a raw milk
cheese that needs to be at the same tempature as my kitchen!
All you need for this
cheese, besides a press, which my darling bought me last year, is the
milk, some rennet, and kosher salt. One more great thing about this
house is the spare room downstairs that stays cool. In the summer I use
it for a cheese curing room. The flies never go down there either.
Always a plus. he he.
Yesterday I made a mesophillic cheese culture, and two pint jars of raw
sauerkraut made with celtic sea salt and kefir whey. I'm sounding weird
even to myself here. Oh well, normal is boring.
Yesterday my eldest son and I went to Borders Book store to find some
knitting books for Tori, whose 14th birthday is Sunday. A horse-crazy
girl who also does kneedle work, Nope, we are not so boring. The two of
us had a grand time having lunch and coffee (he had Italian Soda) in
the coffee shop while perusing books and magazines in the cool, air
conditioned shop. It was 105 outside, so we really appreciated it!
The air conditioner in the truck didn't seem to make a huge difference yesterday. Ugh.
I found the greatest book in the bargain section, all about different
countries, cultures, and their foods. It's a huge book full of history
and glossy color photos. A homeschool mom's dream. this will be great
for our country studies and potlucks we do with a small group of other
homeschool families. that's the best $8 I have spent in a long time.
This thursday we have our homestudy. Hooray! finally it feels like
there's some action. I am a "give me the botton line, let's MOVE!"
-type of girl. It's hard.
I got an email yesterday from a woman who distributes the Above Rubies
magazines in her church and community, wanting to be my pen pal. She
lives in KENYA! Hello!
She's a beautiful, articulate Pastor's wife, and I just can't wait to
learn more about her and her country. Life is never dull, I'll tell ya
that much. She read my article in AR and decided to email me. What an adventure!
Well, it's time to take my now sterilized supplies and get busy on my
cheese. I think I'll make Feta next. I'm out and I eat feta on my
salads daily. Who could resist?
