I almost have my cheese making things ready!
Last thing I need is a stainless steel colander for the mozzarella cheese.

I will pick one up tomorrow and then make cheddar and mozzarella this weekend. The cheddar has to age for 60 days though...

Cheese curds don't have to age. Mmmmm

I made foccacia @ work today. Does that count?

Yes! cottage cheese, mozzarella, ricotta and etc. don't age. Others age for a long time though.

I did
Even brought a piece home for the birds (gotta take a pic with something chicken in it, so why not actual chickens?)

When I make Colby, recipe calls for a half packet of culture, but a whole packet doesn't even register on my scale.

Question... is foccacia supposed to be a rather thin bread or thick? I always thought it was supposed to be rather thin.

Your focaccia looks good Michelle!

I've seen it both ways. Look at these pictures from a Bing search:

Thanks
Didn't let it rise as longas I would have liked. Dough wasn't finished until 9:45 and it was being served @ 12:30. Still seems nice & light though.
