I made yogurt again today so we shall see how it comes out tomorrow morning.

I bought two half gallons today and used one for the yogurt. I did take off some of the cream with a turkey baster. That was easy. I didn’t get all of it, as I didn’t intend to.

I’ll be making cheese again with the other container. Full milk. I’ll use the cream for something. Probably mysost again. 

I need to make bread but probably tomorrow. I have a lot to do tomorrow. Today I also roasted some tomatoes for the freezer. And I planted garlic.

Yogurt was a success again! I think I may have this … consistent? 😃

I needed more bread in advance of my husband coming home tomorrow so I made pumpkin yeast bread again. I was more liberal with the spices, per the recipe. It was pretty sticky as I was kneading it, which is a bit unusual (lol who knows, maybe I only put one egg in last time or something). I was a little worried it wouldn’t come out right but it’s fine.

And the yogurt I unwrapped this morning. I used almost a half gallon, having taken some of the cream off. I have two containers.

Cheese later this week.

I've been making these pickled peppers. I still have some from last year, but they look so pretty in the fridge!

I called my mom, had her on speaker us just chatting away and I made cheese today.

I’m so happy with it but I took a picture and realized it might present as *sad trombone*. I’m waiting for it to firm up and had some foresight to put parchment paper in the container so I can lift it out into a shape. Anyway, here it is. It tasted good, the little bit I scraped off the towel. It’s got apricots, cardamom, and a dash of parsley.

Here is my quickie photo shoot of the cheese. The cheese is just farmer cheese, so mild, and I put apricots, cardamom, and a little parsley. The taste is very light. I’m thinking a little honey could be drizzled on it, on some nice fruit crackers, pears?. Graham crackers? My husband says it’s ok but it’s a bit mild for him (he will eat it with nice paired crackers). I told him I will try to make an aged cheese one day but I don’t have all the things I need (and I have to read how!). Anyway I’m happy 😊
