Good mornings make good food

Today is a good day. I do not have class, and though I am loving my new job I don't have to do that either. I started making feta (shown below hanging from a wooden spoon) and made granola. I love food. Specifically I love making food, and consuming it too. But I hate recipes. Strangely enough I love making cheese, and in the case of cheese recipes are vital.

With this feta I am going to follow the usual recipe: let it hand for six hours so the whey can drain out, slice it, salt it, flip it, salt it. After that it's ready to eat. It is at this point I will experiment by taking half of the feta (which I won't salt) and put it in a brine solution. I want a feta that is firmer and crumbles a little more. I'm hoping this experiment if successful. If it is I'll sell it to my first customer. At one point in my life I would love to have many customers. And more cheesemaking equipment too; wooden spoons, one pot, and rubber bands can only take you so far.



End note: I love food.
