right. so.
today i was going to try to catch up on my huge pile of internet things that i still haven't cleared from my desk, but my day went differently.
i started out here at my desk, but then i took delivery of my new mattress, which means washing linens so i can put fresh on the bed, but i can't do that RIGHT away, since there's already clean laundry in the dryer that i can't dump on the bed pending putting away until the new mattress is there, so THEN there's tending to the laundry and a little eating of lunch before i head downtown for a haircut and then into williston to do the grocery shopping and after THAT things really started to pick up.
in the last two weeks i've had basically two speeds: way too slow, and way too fast. i have had more than two crying jags that lasted two days. and then alternately i'm working on way too many things at once.
so. back from the grocery store, i got going on a few little projects:
i made cheese. i never made cheese before, so i thought this would be a good time to start. a nice little farmer cheese.
i roasted mushrooms (related to a sandwich i will make tomorrow), and tossed some stale english muffins in the oven so that later on i could whirl them in the food processor to make the breadcrumbs i'll need for a recipe later in the week.
i caramelized a half dozen onions for later use, and put them in the freezer in an ice cube tray.
at some point i had dinner: leftover cabbage and dumplings, deciding to pan fry the leftovers to get delicious crunchy brown bits on them while i warmed them up.
and then because i hadn't enough to do, i made fresh mozzarella cheese, because i've never made cheese before and it sounded like a fun thing to do to make not one but two cheeses. and then while i was at it, i made fresh ginger ale and since i was grating ginger i made a cute little ginger custard, which i plan to write about later.
then it's finish up the laundry and put the fresh sheets on the new mattress and upload photographs and i just KNOW i missed some of the day's activities, but that's most of what i did today.

You MADE cheese!? Wow! How do you do that, without the - er, the cheese factory stuff you see on TV when they do a documentary on how to make cheese?
apparently it's not at all difficulty to make some cheeses; you just toss them in a poss and cooks them and curdle them and squeeze out the why and it's cheese.
well, i learned that you knead mozzarella, but it's pretty simple.
later on, maybe, i'll get a cheese press and make hard cheeses.
Are there actually enough hours in a day to get all that stuff done?
