I'm Ellen living in what I affectionately refer to as the Swamps of NE Illinois (far Northern Suburbs of Chicago). I'm an avid handspinner and weaver as well as I train my dogs for performance competitions. Obedience, agility, K9 Nosework are just some of the things we train.
A number of years ago I played around with cheesemaking, but only with acid coagulated ones. Now I'm starting again and learning more about the chemical/biological processes behind it. I have a MS in geology, but stable isotope geochemistry doesn't help much with this
I know I need to learn how to brine my feta properly. And move on to other similar cheeses of course my husband likes cheddar
