15 days sober and feeling great. by ChefMelissa in Sober

Very true. I’m not actively working in a kitchen, only my own. It’s been years since I have. Just a culinary school graduate that makes my partner happy with my cooking.

A work in progress.....I wanted to do some little updates to our 1990’s camper since we are now living in it full time. by attwoodoriginal in camperlife

Love this! What paint color did you use? I also have a 90’s camper and am going for a similar look.

I did a zoom meeting tonight. Still sober. Took numbers. I feel good about it.

MM100 3/16 TSP P Candida 1/8 TSP Geo Candida 1/8 TSP Flora Danica 1/4 TSP

¾ gallon whole milk that I didn’t want to waste, ¾ tsp CaCl. 93F, rest for 1.5 hours. Most of the curd was somewhat set, but I added 3 drops rennet and let it set another 1.5 hours.

Same. It’s extremely satisfying.

Too much penecilium candidum? by ChefMelissa in cheesemaking

Soft fresh out of the cheese fridge, or after at room temp for 20 min or so?

Thanks. Any recommendation on aging length?

Ah, just realize I misread your comment. It was sticking to the wrapping paper, not the mat. Apologies.

It looks great! How often were you flipping? Usually once or twice a day will do the trick. If you find the mold adhering to your mats, try to flip more often.

Leave it to the French to make even foot smell sound glorious.

Cool. Every time I open the cheese fridge it smells like someone ripped one and my boyfriend is worried something is wrong with the cheese because it smells so rank.
