2. So you know how Ina always says to get the "really good" ingredients, and that the mozzarella from the grocery store is just rubber? Well, in an effort to live up to Ina (not all of us live in the Hampton's where there are cheese stores), I made my own mozzarella cheese, you know, from milk and stuff. Okay, so really, Brian did a lot of it. But it was pretty exciting! I am a horrible food photographer, but suffice it to say, it turned out really well. And what did I make with this homemade cheese? Pizza. I know I was supposed to make, like, a caprese salad or something elegant, but we're just pizza people. I will say that everything on the pizza (crust, sauce, cheese) was homemade, except for the pepperonis. And really, who wants to know how that is made? Anyway, it was a fun activity, and if you want to try it, click here for the directions I used. And a special thanks to Mom, who informed me that rennet can be found at the grocery store in the Jello section.

What an exceptionally cute baby! :) She really is adorable.
I can't believe you didn't even make your own pepperoni, sheesh. HELLO I didn't even know you could make your own mozzarella and your baby is adorable, well done on the cheese and the baby, I'd like some of both please!
Glad your mozzarella turned out well. I am sure it was exceptional pizza that you made with it. The pictures are great. Jane always looks cute, but I especially love her sitting in her little orange baby chair.
oh my gosh, she looks just like you! so darling.
and way to go on the mozzarella. i'm so impressed.
Say wha? You make your own cheese? So impressed! And of course Jane is a doll - keep the photos comin'!
Oh gosh!! Trav is going to be so jealous of you making your own cheese! We tried it once and didn't get much, maybe I'll have him try your recipe.
Thanks again for the pics!
I can't wait to see that adorable little girl! I bet you are loving being parents. You are making me get a little baby fever...I said a LITTLE.
If it is possible for a baby to SIMULTANEOUSLY look EXACTLY like her mother (close up photo on the left) while also paying homage to her father (bumbo chair pic), that would be baby Jane! Seriously, its as if you morphed the parents baby pictures.
I am in awe of you making your own mozerella cheese. Ina would be proud!
I love Ina! I'm impressed you made your own cheese. Good job.
