Re: (...)
Last fall, I promised myself I would work on making marshmallows and cheese this past winter...........never did. But today, I did make Mozzarella cheese and it just tastes so good. I've made it a couple of times, but I keep forgetting how much better homemade is.

so, now that I've started, it is onward and upward for more cheese!!
tomorrow will be a mushroom, crab, gouda and mozz pizza!!!

Now, on to the marshmallows.

I have yet to try this or ricotta. Keep reminding me, I really need to do it. I just usually replace it in a recipe with Gorgonzola or something because it always just tastes like nothing to me

Well, geez, cooking the rice in the leftovers would never have occurred to me - you are so clever! I always wanted to try my hand at cheese making - it's not like I don't have access to fresh milk from the farms around here.
Could i make fresh mozz and serve it in the restaurant? Anyone know?

Good question, Linda - don't see why not. We can cure meat, make sauces, etc. I would say it's the same. Anyone know for sure?

Don't know for sure, but I saw it being done on Restaurant Impossible. I would think that as long as it is made on the premises it would be ok. I lent my cheese making book to a friend, and realized he never returned it. Thanks for the reminder, Jean!
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

Beautiful Cheese Jean! - Did you use curds or go from scratch? I love the idea with the rice.
I was told yesterday that the pepper jelly I made at the restaurant can not be used - because no homemade pickles, jams, jellies, etc. can be served in a restaurant. I'm going to research this. Seems off kilter. I know lots of restaurants cure their own meats, make their own cheeses (not usually aged), and their own preserves. Maybe WA law is different.

Made from scratch. WA does have some peculiar laws, I'll ask around here, also.

I have seen cheese making everywhere in the last few days! Pinterest has had ricotta and mozzarella . Also the Williams Sonoma catalogue had cheese making kits, and a seed sprouted for sprouts!
You all are what is happening!
