Cheese and eggs

 So excited to be getting our cheese-making supplies!  I ordered a Dutch press today and the different cultures, mold powders, cheese molds, etc.

Back in 2013 I took a class at a university extension in Kaysville, UT?.  I learned how to make mozzarella and ricotta cheeses.  I came home and taught Steve how to make it and we had a blast.  I wanted to learn how to make hard cheeses and studied up on it. I got pretty far on my studying and then Steve's accident happened.  That put a stop to just about everything fun.  Was quite the fun-zapper, but we're back to wanting to learn things and with more expendable income I was able to get supplies!

Pic of Steve proudly displaying the mozzarella we made on March 12, 2013. Almost 10 years ago. (notice the usage of both hands?  :'( )


Books that I purchased over the years...the Artisan Cheese Making at Home book still has the Amazon receipt in it back when Amazon was primarily a book-selling platform. HA.

The Dutch press I purchased from thecheesemaker.com


I purchased the rest of the supplies from cheesemaking.com.  I also ordered a mozzarella/ricotta kit to send to my granddaughter in Oregon, hoping that she'll have a lot of fun making cheese. Another resource for cheese-making supplies is culturesforhealth.com.

Oh, and I completely forgot to mention in yesterday's post that we're hatching out eggs in our 41-egg incubator.  Steve candled the eggs and a few weren't growing so he removed those eggs.  I believe we have about 2 weeks left before hatch day.

Our incubator...I'll get a pic of the pretty colored eggs.
