Thoughts on Cheese

Aug 04, 2009 18:28

A few months ago I found a recipe on how to make ricotta cheese. Although a great love of mine, the idea of making my own cheese had never crossed my mind.

I will definately do so. I think it will be fun to make. I can send you the recipe if you'd like. It's called 30 minute mozzarella. In fact, I think it's posted online somewhere...
Cream cheese with fresh bread is so yummy! I love it on banana bread. Hell, I love it on anything!

That's true... I've yet to find a bad cheese, only really interesting ones. Hopefully I won't make a bad cheese. hehehe.
Yeah, the boredom rarely lasts... enjoy it while you can!

*sniffles*

No... unfortunately. Severe writers block. The ideas are swimming around my head, but it's like the channel between my head and my pen is blocked by a small stone and I can't seem to get it unplugged. It's damn annoying. Which is why I've started trying to lj again. Maybe if I just write my experiences it will help things start flowing again?

How about you? Any stories?
