There's something about slowing down a bit which gives me a chance to look around more than I have and notice stuff ( Read more... )

I'm not seeing any evidence of "slowing down" in this post and quite frankly I'm beginning to worry about you a bit. I mean, making mozzarella cheese? On top of everything else? Why?

The cheese discovery has come to Eleanor over a period of about a month. It's no more of a commitment, and yet just as much of a passion, as me deciding to donate time and effort to publish a book for the memory of a just-deceased fellow blogger of mine.

Some things, you don't ask why, you just do.

*Snorts*, *Laughs*

Please don't worry about me. I'm fine. Cooking is a passion of mine, I'm easily bored, and I have a lot of time on my hands lately. In the summer, it's normal to only get 11 to 15 hours a week at Wegmans. I don't mind, as long as we can keep afloat financially. It's been a true pleasure to spend more time with Emily, among other things.

Bear in mind, I only watch one half-hour TV show a week - Nurse Jackie, and that's winding down, I believe.

I once went a year without a day off from work, other than major holidays. That was about fifteen years ago. I couldn't do that now.

I've never been in a casino. I hate going to shopping malls. I had a great time yesterday, tootling around the farmer's market on Main Street in Williamsville with Emily, plus going to a nursery.

I need to get some trimmers or loppers or something so that I can get my trees under control - the branches are everywhere!

Oooh, ivory iron against red brick sounds spectacular. Get pictures when they're filled!

I know how to make mozzarella, but I've never tried it - it's more expensive to make than to buy around here, at least. I want to make more yoghurt again sometime, though, as that works out to be about on par with the cost of buying the thick Greek stuff.

I don't know what the citric acid does, but I'll let you know how this cheese turns out. The best part of researching it was a video I found, done by a chef from The Lodge at Vail. It was an awesome video.
Then, the site it was on sequed to one by Penn & Teller, debunking bottled water. Bwahahaha! I've long suspected that's a rip-off, as they make clear...
