mozz in the mornin' - waking with cheese

morning
favored time
when day need not be rushed
waking gently stepping lightly
eyes focus adjust find clarity
favored light
breathing peaceful
quiet cool chickens coocoo
til' roo ah roo sounds his windy song
ahrahrooooawww
wakey wakey
gentle morning
gentle cheese
mozzy mozzy
fondle squeeze pull please





recipe here
for ricki carrol's thirty minute mozzarella

i am not using this particular recipe as i am using fresh cow's milk and would like to go for a richer more flavorfilled curd. i will use a thermophillic starter and lipase powder. for the recipe i follow this fine morn', please turn to page 136 of your home cheese making hymnal.

yogurt cheese - the slow drip

now that it's hot hot hot - i begin thinking about meals that keep you cool cool cool.

one of my ole' stand by summer meals includes a good herbed or honey sweetened cheese with whole grain crackers, sliced veggies, an iced chilled glass of tea and melon slices to finish.

not too heavy - fills ya up - makes great use of fresh out of the garden veggies and requires not the use of an oven.

so i pulled out several pints of the recent homemade yogurt - wrapped it up in multiple layers of cheese cloth (which in fact appears to be more a guaze than a cloth these days) tied the top. i then set the bundled future cheese out suspended over a dripping pot. soon enough, another batch of yogurt cheese at the ready for nummy nummy eating.

for now she's
- dripping dripping dripping the weigh away

note - you can easily use store bought yogurt.

also - i save the weigh and use it for baking bread, pancakes, bisquits and sometimes i just drink it - it's good for you. don't drink it if you don't like tart - it will turn ya. the chickenychicas would probably love it too!
