Holy tomatoes!

Sadly, there appears to be a tomato crisis happening in America- salmonella, do not eat tomatoes under pain of death, and all that jazz.

You're growing homemade Buffalo Mozzarella? Hard to come by buffalo milk in these parts, assuming most farmer's markets don't have the zoning or license to milk their own. Wheeeeeeee!

I've already eaten dinner, but that Insalata Caprese has made me salivating all over again! The photo of that salad looks like it uses balsamic vinegar in addition to the extra virgin olive oil, but we know the real zing is from the freshness of the live ingredients. Hopefully you're growing basil in your summer garden, too?

Now... what time would you like me to come over? *g*

I love the addition of balsamic vinegar to insalata caprese- I think it pushes it to new levels of 'yum' ;-) Yes, we're growing our own basil indoors, so we've been using that with farmers market tomotoes. I'm hoping our local farmers market will get a dairy table soon, so we can get all the major ingredients locally grown, including the cheese :-)

A post I made on Jan 2, 2005 confirmed that I have watched my now-uncle make mozzerella cheese and I said it didn't look that hard ;-)

Hrm... okay, now that you've demonstrated I haven't done my homework....

Prove you can "easily" make mozzarella? *grin*

That gauntlet thrown, I have a suggestion for what to bring to a certain occasion I hope we can both attend!

Ok, ok, it's not "easy" in general, but maybe compared to making some other things, like a croquenbouche. lol.

I also found this recipe, but it might be no different from what you found: http://homecooking.about.com/od/cheeserecipes/r/bldairy22.htm
