Title: New Guy from Texas
Post by: TravisNTexas on August 19, 2018, 01:47:36 PM
Hi all.  I'm Travis and live outside of Dallas.  I'm into cooking and brewing beer.  I started following the cheese thread at the Homebrewtalk forum, then crawling around the net watching cheese videos and reading all the info I could find.  I found and have gone through the wonderful Wiki here, so decided to join this amazing forum.  The only cheese I have made is paneer, which I have done many times since I love to cook Indian and because my daughter just loves Saag Paneer  ;D

I'm looking forward to being part of this forum.  From what I have seen there is just an amazing amount of information here!

Welcome to the Forum Travis. I'm sure it wont be long until you start experimenting with other cheeses. I am an Expat living in Panama and started making Queso Fresco for my wife and couldn't resist trying other cheese makes. And now I'm hooked.
Good luck with your cheese making.

I grew up in Richardson then north Dallas.  Now am east of Dallas near Rockwall.  My oldest daughter and her husband honeymooned in Costa Rica and her husband's dad is from there!  Thanks for the welcome :)

Thank you and welcome to you too!  Oklahoma?!  OMG!  Lol  Very pretty state.  I've spent a lot of time there since I was little, mostly camping and canoeing but a fair bit working too.

Hi Travis, cheese-friend.
Your post came up with some spam, sadly, but on the good side, I got to see your introduction.
I've never traveled to the country of Texas, though I hope to one day. Keep on cheese making! ~Feather

Hi Feather,

Unfortunately it seems we are getting a lot of spam on this site lately.  It's frustrating to see that there are 8 new posts since my last visit only to find out that 7 of them are spam!
