Today we went to Ann Arbor with our friends Sharon, Kay & Kenny to attend a mozzarella making class at the Zingerman's Creamery. It was a lot of fun! We made 4 things of mozzarella total; 2 batches of fresh mozzarella, mozzarella with myrtle wrapped around it and the last one was a burrata (which Dodge is holding up in the picture). We stopped in the bakery to get some bread to go with all the cheese we are taking home.
The Creamery was great. We got there pretty early and they let us sample different types of cheese and spreads and gave us some gelato which I absolutely love! I'm not a big ice cream fan but I could easily eat a bowl of it. We got the peanut butter flavor, yum!
Next we went to Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger for some food. Dodge got a ten patty burger! The onion rings were amazing! My burger was also very good. Now were heading home with full bellies and a car full if cheese. I think first order of business is a nap.

The 30 minute mozzarella made from milk was the first thing we did there. It wasn't hard but making it straight from curd instead of the milk was WAY easier. They told us of a couple places you can buy curd for the mozzarella. He said the mozzarella we made from the curd we should eat right away, like tonight.
