When you're tired, you go to bed. When I'm tired, I cook!





I had the pleasure of cooking for 7 hours, sleeping for 4.5 and then cooking for another 3.5 before heading out to a McDonald's corporate event for which I was providing the food! YAY!!! Thank God it's over.

Pete+Suck+Rust= ???

I am eating this RIGHT NOW! You are soooo jealous.
PIZZA CRUST! That's right. I am going to share a bit of my amazing pizza making tips with you. Get ready to make an awesome pizza crust dough that I have made so many times that I don't have to measure anything. I realize I am bragging right now and sometimes that is OK; bake what your mama gave ya'!

Happy November!

Feta Recipe

This cheese has more of a mildly tart flavor than typical feta.The HUGE difference with this recipe is that I did not use goats milk, rennet tabs or yogurt. It is a great cheese to make if you have some milk that is bordering on expiration. By this, I mean milk that is within 1-2 days of expiration. By no means am I advising anyone to use milk that is a week old. Ew.

Mastering Mozzarella

I ventured into cheese making not so long ago and it was fun except for the fact that I didn't have everything I needed. This time around, I am making mozzarella I have the appropriate cloth, buttermilk and rennet tabs. I am ready to make a mess! I am so excited.

Vaniller Puddin' Y'all!

Around 11:30 pm or so, I did what any normal person does and I went downstairs to cook something(s). I remembered that there was some souring milk, so I put that on simmer with some white vinegar and left it to curdle so I could make cheese while I made vanilla pudding. After straining the whey from the curds, I whisked up my pudding, threw it in the fridge to cool and quickly set out to make cookies because I was going to make banana pudding at midnight. I am so awesome all the time!
