Yes, please do report on your cheese making. I'm living vicariously through you right now. I think I'm even going to become a Buddist too. Have I ever told you how much I love the way you write? At the very least, you always make me smile when I read your posts. Today I couldn't resist reading some of them to the Engineer who is working across the table from me. I had him laughing out loud right along with me. Thank you for sharing your gift with us!<br /><br />Blessings!<br />DeborahThe dB familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170331499885879774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-60830862689975381022011-07-12T18:05:23.260-07:002011-07-12T18:05:23.260-07:00It really does only take 30 minutes to make that m...It really does only take 30 minutes to make that mozzarella.

However, I'm sure those blackberries will taste even better than they look.<br /><br />Is there anything better than homegrown tomatoes with homegrown basil? I think not. Then again, you'll have to report on the homemade mozzarella and let us know!<br /><br />I stepped outside yesterday to take some things to the 'dungeon' for storage. My chives had died back, as they do, and new shoots are sprouting. And there is parsley coming up. Who said a winter garden was dormant?Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511855282323456046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-13956216836814251692011-07-12T16:04:33.841-07:002011-07-12T16:04:33.841-07:00I like Fritos, too.

That's what we'll make.Pom Pomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524994024698986829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-12948658557147332652011-07-12T14:12:37.971-07:002011-07-12T14:12:37.971-07:00My favorite foods in the whole world are simple on...My favorite foods in the whole world are simple ones too. My list? (I assume you want to know b/c it's just your childnen's happiness about which you are no longer concerned so I shall share.) Peaches and unsweetened tea-hot or cold. These make me smile through and through.<br /><br />Oh, and don't forget cherries. Deep red almost black cherries. One of my all time favorite memories is gorging myself silly on cherries while expecting my first child and visiting a certain NC friend. I can't buy or even look at cherries without remembering that happy time.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196717975204396575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-56471134059452136402011-07-12T14:12:01.175-07:002011-07-12T14:12:01.175-07:00Look at you!

That jam is beautiful and I hope that The Man will take more photos of your "canning cupboard" or shelves so that we can see all the lovely jars of things you're putting up. <br /><br />Please report on the mozzarella. I wish I was eating tomatoes and basil with you. Basil, yes. Tomatoes, no.<br /><br />JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.com
