“30 Minute Mozzarella Recipe”. 30 minutes my ass.
The kids are watching a smidge of classic Sesame Street while I sip tea, post a blog and regain some sanity before serving dinner solo. It’s been a long day. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t smoke and it’s moments like these where I pause to wonder if I will in fact get through their youth without any illicit or addictive sedatives. Addictive other than two cups of tea a day anyway.
Bottoms up!
Where did you get that recipe from? I have one from Mother Earth News and I think it too is a 30 min recipe so I am curious to see if it happens to be the same since I may just try it this spring. Anyway, it looks tasty (was that goat milk or cow milk?).
~M~
The recipe is from the book that MEN article was based on. I used sheep milk (traditionally what mozz is made from). I’ve made this recipe before, and the first time it took 4 hours. Today it was 3 until I was done.
Bringing the milk up to temperature takes a while if it is defrosted and not fresh, at least 30 minutes there!
Man I have GOT to learn how to make cheese. Ashley, you need to come to South Dakota, bring the babies…mine will fawn all over them, and Vincent will take Bob and show him the woods around here. And you can teach me to make cheese! I’ll trade you EVERY recpie I have for that.

oops…didn’t mean to post that twice
This is really random but I had a dream I went to your house. Except you and your hubby weren’t like how you probably are in real life. And you had two 8-week old kittens. :]
I have to admit, this recipe would have been a lot closer to 30 minutes (than the 3 hours it took me) if I had a microwave (which the recipe calls for).
You could SO make cheese, Jaime! Would love to visit South Dakota, alas Meeps is still hardly making it back and forth to the grocery store. Hopefully one day!!!!
Addictive sedatives become medicinal when one has children. Surely………?
Funny and possibly creepy thing.
I had a dream I was making cheese in the bathtub. Then it changed to me having a dream that i was Maggie and Bob was helping me drain the whey out of a HUGE bag of cheese. And you were getting mom angry because we weren’t doing it right and after we were finished i was looking around “our farm” and there were worms on the steps and i was really grossed out by them but you were super mom and were not.
I just found some cheese that is HEAVEN…Leek and Morel Jack. If you know how to make jack cheese…I will MAIL you dried morels, they grow like weeds around here and I dry them myself. I usually find a garbage bag full.
Hey, this is Patti from SG. We used to chat in the pregnancy blog alot. I got bummed out when I realized you weren’t posting on there anymore, so thank god I found this. You know…I sit and watch Max…usually in contemplative moments like yours and wonder if he is going to make any of the same mistakes I did. Seeing as both me and his father are recovered alcoholics, he has an 80% chance of making the same mistakes.
blah, I know how you feel.
