Scratch Made Life

My husband just got home from a trip to France. He brought me a nice collection of French cheeses from Mons Fromager in Paris. One of the cheeses in the box is Comte (a fav). I just happen to have one I made that is 16 months old. Did a side-by-side tasting and I have to admit to being over the moon - while the texture is different, the taste is spot on! Testimony that you can make cheese at home that is as good (if not better) than what you buy in the store.

Did a sourdough class today so experimented with a batch of the dough and made some hamburger sourdough buns. Think they turned out pretty good.
