Or maybe, Barbara Kingsolver.
Alex, what is, the two people I thinkI might be morphing into?
That is correct, for no money but some homemade cheese and canned tomatoes.
Yes, that's right, I think I have gone over to the other side. I just finished reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver and I am inspired.
I spent yesterday gathering the ingredients so that today I could make cheese. The vegetable rennet I actually ordered in advance through my local grocery co-op and the citric acid was easy because EO has that on hand at work.
I just whipped up a batch of homemade mozzarella. Just now. In my kitchen. And it would have been perfect, except that I forgot to salt it at the right time. I was so excited for the stretching that I forgot to salt. But whatever. I made cheese and we are going to eat the cheese! While, I am sure that someone who has done this before could really get it done in 30 minutes, it took me about an hour. I tasted it, and it tastes like cheese! Success. I tried to take some pictures, but I can't find my camera...
Stay tuned for the next episode of life on the farm, I mean in town, when JO convinces her husband that he CAN, in fact, build that do it yourself backyard bread/pizza oven!

Somewhere in the depths of our 'things we have held on it just in case...' pile that takes up so much space we can hardly park the car in the garage we have a design and (I think) instructions of how to build an out door pizza oven. I'll take a look around should be hard its just 3 pages tucked somewhere!!!!!! I'll keep you posted.
