BORDER FARM
TONIGHT! TUESDAY NIGHT FARM MARKET – 5pm. TIP, PRO TIP – come at 4:30 and park in the hotel across from Lindley park, look through all of the farm booth offerings and then at 5pm you are allowed to start shopping. You avoid the bigger crowds this way.
Here it is – my first Käsekuchen! This cheese cake kind of hijacked all of last week. Working with a recipe that was 150 years old has its alure and also some drawbacks, like lost directions, or ingredients but no amounts. I think way back when they just assumed you knew the basics of baking!
So I ended up making three – orange zest, lemon zest, no zest. All good, all different, and I had to cross reference a bunch.
The modern recipes that use lets say – cornstarch, boxed pudding, cool whip – to help bring everything together look WAY easier than the recipe I used. But all in all, I am pleased and I also feel like I have built some new skills.
This week I also made –
4lb wheel of Farmers Cheese – has a buttermilk flavor that is kind of addicting
Fresh Feta in Olive oil and black peppercorn
Primo Sale – that I am going to turn into mozzarella
… and I start on my Alpine Cheeses this week. The rule of thumb in cheese making over 150 years ago is that alpine cheeses were only made when the goats were on thick green grasses, and that time is right now!
