Bonus farm news: Housemate made parmesan cheese (well, it will be after a year's storage) which gave us 20 liters of whey as a byproduct, which I am now boiling down to Scandinavian whey "cheese". It's brown and sweet from the caramelized sugar of the whey, and not actually cheese. (Note: we do not have cows. We bought the milk from a farmer's market.)

You are doing so many intriguing farm things! Your cheese will be ready before the oak table...

Dec 17th - 1000 words, two double and two triple drabbles.

[luzula]

Ha ha, that's true.

Such a nice and exact number of words! \o/

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! So proud of myself! *g*

[sylvanwitch]

Once again, I am behind on checking in. I really am sorry for making more work for you. *sighs*

On Day 16, I added 299 words to "Dixon and the Detective," and today (Day 17), I added another 517 to same.

Also, YAY cheese! :-)

[luzula]

No worries at all! <3 And well done with your words.

Yay cheese indeed! The whey cheese turned out the best I've made it, probably because it boiled a long time, adding more notes of caramel.

[chestnut_pod]

MADE Parmesan cheese?! Please, please provide updates.

Made significant progress on the First Most Depressing article! Not quite as much as I would have liked (my coauthor did a bunch of stellar writing, but, in the process, messed up the structure a little), but pretty good. I'd guess at least 1,000 words. Which tomorrow I'll have to cut viciously. But still!

[luzula]

Well, we already have three Parmesan cheeses lying in the food cellar; the oldest is half a year old. I will update you when we try the first one! Although actually we cannot legally call them Parmesan cheese because that is a protected term--it has to be made in the area of Parma. But we consume a lot of it and housemate wanted to make our own. There are recipes online.

Significant Progress on article, yay! \o/

[princessofgeeks]

Sounds wonderful!

[luzula]

I hope so!

[trobadora]

Checking in for the 17th. More Yuletide work.

Making your own cheese sounds amazing!

[luzula]

Go you with the Yuletide writing!

In this household we are all about making food from scratch. We do not yet have our own cows to milk so we can make it even more from scratch, but we are talking about it.

Day 17: Got that one exchange fic done, earlier than planned.... which is good because there's another exchange fic that's only half done due this Sunday... I guess I'll be writing a lot!

[luzula]

Congratulations on finishing the exchange fic! \o/

[cornerofmadness]

Day 16 1250 words

Day 17 3963 words (writers meet up)

Ooo I love that whey cheese stuff

[luzula]

Great progress!

This batch turned out the best I've made it, probably because it boiled a long time, adding more notes of caramel.

[sanguinity]

Cheese! Wow!

Dec 17. Words!

[luzula]

Making cheese is fun! So far I've only made paneer myself, which turned out well, but I want to try feta cheese, which should be easy. And then just basic cheese for a sandwich would be fun too.

Words! \o/

[sanguinity]

Where do you get your rennet?

(Assuming you are using rennet. Paneer doesn't use it, correct? And feta can go either way?)

[luzula]

I used yoghurt for the paneer, which worked well. We buy rennet (which, yes, we used for the parmesan) in the large grocery store.
