What's up, Pussycat?
Hung out at the San Mateo county fair. That was awesome- I love the hurl-you-through-space rides! And the jankiness of it all. And the mini pig races! Wheeee! And I ate funnelcake. OMG that stuff is like crack! Luckily I didn't have to eat the whole thing (translated: luckily, I got a few bites).
Made fresh mozzarella cheese. Figured out that it's most likely a thermometer thing. The cheese thermometer I got looked janky and read a few degrees lower than my digital one, but seeing as I have actual cheese now vs. my usual attempt ending in a fresh, hot, mess, it appears that was a key. Hooray!
Then I made a bread with the leftover whey, which turned out yummy, but it didn't exactly rise right. Powdered yeast is such a gamble, I'll have to look for some cake yeast and see if that works better. It's what my grandmother used and she made bread every week, non-fail.
Washed the Orange Beast. And then polished it. That took a couple of hours. Ooof. I think that putting only 1000 miles a year on it is sort of a waste of its capabilities. Maybe I'll put 2000 miles on it this year! *gasp*
Went horseback riding for 1.5 hours on Sunday with hypothermya and neacal and had a great time! It was gorgeous! And of course there isn't much between my neck and my knees that isn't sore now. But the horses were nice, the guide was awesome, and it was just fun. Then we went to Alice's at the top of 84 for burgers. Cause that's just what you do! (And we avoided Fathers Day traffic by going that way). Didn't move for the rest of the evening.
Today, it's another hot day, so I'm off to swimming. Now! YAY!3
Tonight- off to BaGG and also trying my hand at a peach sriracha sorbet! Fire and Ice!
