I took today off work - unfortunately, I didn't sleep in much. But I've done some futzing around and generally relaxing.

Now: to bake. Tartlet shells for the wedding today, Brie tartlets tomorrow.

Shoot, going to the wedding will be worth it for the food. <g>

The curvy upstairs neighbor is doing most of it. I smoked the duck proscuitto last weekend, though.

Well yeah, but between y'all, it'll be good eats for all ... (and of course you smoked the proscuitto, you have the technology!)

I heard somewhere that you can make mozza cheese at an event and have it ready for brekkie Sun morn... do you know anything about cheesemaking, or can you direct me in the right direction?

BTB: I hear that if you smoke duck, it's better for you than tobacco.

*giggles, ducks and runs*

Unfortunately the best resource on Cheesemaking (human resource, that is) is leaving the Kingdom shortly ...

And who might that be milord?

Newly minted laurel Mistress Eibhlín níc Raghailligh, who was laureled for cheesemaking.

Would that be the one-time Baroness of Vinhold....?


Oooo. =D I can jump over that hill easily enough.

Okee dokee -- just keep in mind that she's leaving the West soon. But she's a delightful person and like most Laurels will probably give you more information than you thought possible. <g>

[ptigris.livejournal.com]

Do you happen to have contact information for her?

[goldenstag.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, no, but if you check SCA-West, Duchess Leticia appears to be in contact with her a bit ...

SCA West

Not on SCA West.... I tend to stay away from it. I hear my knight comments on it enough to make up for my presence. *laughs*

Hrm. I guess I could chat with Will.

Or drop me an email -- go to my profile and all that, I believe there's an email option from there.

I've made mozzarella, although not onsite. It's very easy so yeah, it could be done Saturday.

For a good modern recipe, try Ricki Carroll, Cheesemaking Made Easy.
