The squash recipe is definitely a winner. Pull out a large piece of foil... Slice the squash. lay out on the foil, put pads of butter over it, sprinkle with Morton's Natures Seasoning, Italian seasoning and basil. layer and repeat. fold and seal the foil and bake at 475 for 10-15 minutes. Open foil and cover with Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and some more basil and cook open until the cheese browns. Pull it out and let stand until the cheese sets. It's a great use for all kinds of summer squash.

Nice!

It happened again.

Amber Alert in my area. This is not a drill. Let's hope and pray everything gets resolved without anybody getting hurt.

A lesson in cheesemaking:

So, I read about this, but this is the first time it's happened to me.

Today, I took a look at the cheese I took out of the press this morning. This is what happened.



See all the tiny holes? That should only happen if I add propionic shermani bacteria to the cheese, which I didn't. I looked in the book I used to make the cheese in the troubleshooting section. Here's what happened:

Coliform Bacteria and/or yeast cross contaminated it, causing the holes.

It doesn't make any sense. I cleaned all of my equipment before using it, I dried it all, I can only deduce that one of the rags I used to dry it was a bread rag that had residual yeast on it, that I was not aware of.





Well, lesson learned.

Jared

Interesting you may be right about the bread rag
