Guest guest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hi Rich, Welcome to the forum. When the student is ready the teacher appears. That's why you know about kefir now. If you use the proper culture and add lipase powder to your milk I guarantee your mozzarella will taste good. Here's your recipe: http://fiascofarm.com/dairy/mozzarella.htm Marilyn On Sat, Sep 19, 2009 at 6:36 PM, Thorium908 <thorium908@...> wrote: > I'm new here and very excited about making my own Kefir.

Makes it so much better. You do loose a lot of volume in making cheese. I think about two gallons milk for me made about a two inch thick round the size of the smaller coffee cans when you could still get them. And until home made cheese is well aged it is very squeaky rubbery. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Thanks - I've gotten some really great recipes and web sites for mozzarella from folks here! One of the web sites had articles on goats - where I got stuck in for a few hours,,and think now I'd like to get a few goats since we have some acreage. Anyway,,I have a new appreciation for cheese - I had no idea the amount of milk necessary to make it - and the patience you need. This is some great site! I have ordered Kefir grains right here, and have my Mason Jars ready!

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Thats wonderful! I know you were really worried over the Dr/insurance issue. We really enjoyed meeting you guys, it was nice meeting another mom who " got it " ugh, I gotta go break up a fight over Iggy lol, fighting over who's infusion set it is even though they both had a set. Kids! lol:) ________________________________ From: <taw1492@...> Sent: Sun, September 26, 2010 9:52:43 PM Subject: Thanks! Hi, After finally making in home with two very tired but happy kids, I wanted to thank those of you who we met at the Painted Turtle family weekend this weekend. It was so wonderful to put faces to names, meet your amazing kids and have a chance to exchange all our triumphs and tribulations. Our family is somewhat new to this process and although it is tough to have PI as part of our lives, I feel so fortunate to have all of you behind us in this journey. As a few of you heard us talk about this weekend, we have been struggling with getting a more specific diagnosis for our youngest, getting our insurance to approve Sub-Q for our boys and having a hard time getting in touch with our doctor. I came home to an email from our doctor (he must have known I was talking about him) with more test results that I have been waiting for for over a month and two letters from Blue Shield approving & Jordan for Sub-Q! Yippee. We will see how it goes. We do know know that Jordan struggles with both B-cell and t-cell maturity. Not sure what that means, they of course want to run MORE tests. Ugh! Hope those of you who were there this weekend enjoyed yourselves as much as we did and traveled home safely. We look forward to seeing you again at another event soon.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 This is my 1st post to the group, but I was really sad to read that BG might stop the group, and was heartened to hear that he decided to keep it going. I guess you could call me a "lurker" as I subscribe to the e-mail lists and read my mail every day and save into a "microelectricity" folder on AOL every post of interest to me. I plan to build some type of device, I have gotten as far as the battery and the sponges, and I'm sure I have an old electrical cord to cut up somewhere around here....LOL its just a matter of taking the time to do it. Anyway, I am writing this to let BG know that I am sure that there are many people out there like me that recognize the value of all his time and hard work, even though he may not hear from all of us. Kudos to pioneers like you, BG! Denyse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
