With the homemade mozzarella, we made pizza. What else? I used whey, a cheesemaking byproduct, in the crust. The tomatoes and basil: from the garden.
For dessert, brownies that contained eggs from our sweet chickens.
Brownies were (clearly) popular with the local baboons, but I don't think it was the free-range, fresh eggs. I think it was the Baker's chocolate and C&H sugar from the Miller Ave. Safeway.
Oh! I almost forgot. The vanilla extract. Homemade. I am going to post about homemade vanilla soon, but want to run a taste-test first. This week.
We have a party to throw today. Four boys are coming over tonight to celebrate Owen's 9th birthday. I'm going to bake a cake, preferably one that does not involve a trip to the supermarket. Not because I'm a locavore, but because I'm lazy.
I;m a little lazy--I just buy the curds, frozen, from a local organic cheesemaker at the farmer's market, and make my mozzarella from there. Sometimes it never makes it into pizza or lasagna--we all just hover over the plate and eat it, hot, on crackers and tomatoes.
ReplyDeletethat pizza and (i have to admit) those brownies look so good....
ReplyDeleteI am trying to convince my husband to get chickens. What else do you do with an acre of land?? He's not convinced yet.
ReplyDeleteThose brownies looks delicious...and homemade mozzarella? YUM!!
