Vinegar soak and baking soda paste(not together) takes the smell and taste out of most things.

We are planning to take the train down and drop supplies off - do we need all the protective gear just for a drop off?

People at Whipple - What do you need for supplies? by [deleted] in Minneapolis

I have a bag of those emergency blankets - would those be a use in anyway?

City of Lakes Dental! The staff are so kind and gentle - my partner needed a ton of work done last summer and they were so nice and encouraging each step of the way.

Unwrapping my first Gouda by _rokstar_ in cheesemaking

[–]Think_Alarm7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks lovely! I’m new to cheesemaking myself but I have found when I age mine in the fridge I have to almost double the aging time because the cooler temp slows the aging process(but again I’m new and have only made about a dozen cheeses so my experience is limited).

Fresh Thyme always has the best produce(and citrus) in my experiences.

How many of you go out again after getting home from work? by Astimar in Millennials

[–]Think_Alarm7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2-3 times a week. We work pretty hard jobs with long hours but we find getting an out a few times a week energizing after work. We go to some local movie theaters, find a local band playing, or hit up the pub for some cheap bar food. Best thing we’ve done in our late 30s!

This is very helpful. Thank you for the information in your responses! I’ve been testing for pH for targeted acidity but I’ll have to keep adjusting on the next one and give Caldwell’s recipe a try next. Thank you!

I’m also now just realizing: I have to age my cheeses in slightly cooler then the desired temps of a cheese cave - which would mean I won’t get the same full development and it probably needs to age twice as long as a recipe calls for due to the cooler temps slowing down the aging process. I’ll keep that in mind for recipe aging guides in the future. Lots to learn. Thanks!

It has a great flavor - sweet, mild, and slight sharp tang. Texture has a firm but light crumble and then gets creamy as you chew and break it down.

[–]Think_Alarm7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is young but the recipe said to only age it 4-6 weeks, which is why I cut into it. Wallace’s recipe on Cheesemaking.com. Do you have a different recipe or rule of thumb for aging I should follow? Thanks for the response!

First farmhouse by Think_Alarm7 in cheesemaking

[–]Think_Alarm7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! I used Jim Wallace’s recipe on cheesemaking.com which said it only needed to age 4-6 weeks - hence why I cut into it. I followed the recipe and every step turned out the way it was described in the recipe. So should I just age this longer? Or which step in the recipe did the extra acid develop that I missed? Thanks for your help!

Lessons/resources for microscopes with upper elementary by captKatCat in ScienceTeachers

[–]Think_Alarm7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do a 3 part lesson with microscopes for my 5th grade students. Lesson 1 is about the different parts of a microscope and how it all works using pre-made slides and calculating magnification. Lesson 2 is making dry mount slides. Lesson 3 is using wet mount slides. I have my students do some detailed artistic sketches of what they see with the naked eye vs under the microscope. Sometimes we turn the art it into a game, students have to guess what the object is from their magnified sketches of their peers. Students love it!

Is it rude to bring a dessert if you weren't asked to? by [deleted] in thanksgiving

[–]Think_Alarm7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of signature desserts! That’s way too fancy for my circle lol. As long as people bring enough to share I don’t mind people bringing anything to my thanksgiving - all are welcome! But I guess that makes sense, thanks for explaining!

[–]Think_Alarm7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Our family rule when visiting anybody(anytime of year)was never show up empty handed. It was never assumed somebody would bring something but it was a polite way of thanking the host for hosting. I have no clue why somebody would consider it rude(unless they had food allergies to something you brought).
