Yes, the excitement here at Chez Magpie can be just overwhelming. Case in point? See this?....
Take the lid off the homemade kefir jar and you'd better be ready to run before it takes over your life! An experiment in cheese-making is now underway. Yep, the excitement knows no bounds.
Today's quote is from Martin Luther King.."If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward"
The quilt gallery you shared here reminds me of your work. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you Joy - that's so nice! I still would like to be a fly on her wall and pick up some tips.
DeleteWow! That's a fun way to make cheese. lol. A recent TV show made a cheese using lemon juice. I didn't realize homemade cheese can be easy to do. I'm not sure about Kevin, what it takes.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt artist makes quilts as beautiful as yours.
We sampled the cheese at lunch today and it's good! Resident Chef added herbs to it and it's wonderful on a piece of toast. Kefir starts from a 'culture' - similar I guess to working with sourdough. You can google it I'm sure. I've heard of people starting their own using a commercial kefir but our son sent us ours. I am lactose intolerant but I can drink this and now we can easily make the cheese too. Win/win!
DeleteCrikey, that must be one healthy culture! I made kefir for years and never had such...exuberance?
ReplyDeleteOh yes, it's exuberant! Guess that's what happens when we have some leftover cream and Resident Chef throws it in. Good thing he took the lid off the jar because I suspect it might have exploded.
DeleteI think a lot of us are crawling right now. But as long as there's some movement, I guess!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree that there seems to be a lot of slow movement these days.
DeleteInteresting experiment. Glad to hear it was tasty. Those miniatures are awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is tasty! Even better after it's 'aged' a couple of days to let the herbs blend in.
DeleteInteresting links! Your hubby sure has interesting food experiments.Good for him!
ReplyDeleteIt can never be said that he's not willing to experiment! And I get to benefit from it...smile.
ReplyDeleteOoooh that looks and interesting experiment! I hope the cheese was good! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteThe cheese IS good, for sure. I know he'll be making it again the next time the kefir decides to explode all over the place. That's what happens when we have a little leftover cream and add it instead of using regular milk.
Deleteit's been so long since I was last here that you are now a cheese maker!!
ReplyDeleteOh no, not me - that's Resident Chef's department!
