This past Thursday, I headed to Murray's Cheese with Paul's mom as we were going to learn about AND make mozzarella cheese! The one thing that most people know about me if we're eating or about to eat - but I love cheese. It doesn't matter what it is and any situation is that much better when it is in front of me!
I suggest taking this course as we had a number of cheeses served on a slate (which you can write on as it comes with chalk), we sipped various wines as we learned and then the best part was actually learning how to make it. When I say it is the simplest thing ever - this is not an understatement. Last night I whipped up the other half of the cheese and Paul was happily nibbling it! To start off, mozzarella is curd which you can order from Caputo Brothers Creamery (conicidently, one of the owners - a super nice lady sells as well as makes this cheese - the name comes from her sons as they are brothers), then you need a bowl of cold water to put the mozzarella in once you have made the balls and another bowl which you will put hot water in! Check out the gallery of images to see how I made it at home and check out the videos which gives you a little more history. If you opt to stay out of the cheese making business, just go to Murrary's and buy a number of cheeses and meats (which we also did).









I love when the weather is in the beginning of making that drastic chill that will be here for months. The first few weeks, it's a novelty and that we're all frustrated and begging for spring. In the meantime, it's nice to think about having something to warm you up! I remember the first time I had an opportunity to sample
