These are fantastic achievements! A year ago I never thought I’d make my own cheese but I tried it the other day and it worked. It’s amazing how easy these things are if you give them a try

Food fun in which I have participated (just for the record):
* made sushi rolls with raw tuna – No
* baked baguettes from scratch – Yes
* made cheese – No
* experimented with homemade ice cream – Yes
* made granola – Yes
* spatchcocked a chicken (butterflied and grilled whole) – DEFINITELY
* made homemade pasta *(The dough worked but the machine didn’t so we had inconsistent thickness. This will have to be tried again.) – Yes

Thanks for keeping me in dinner : )
