Hard Cheese Preservation
Great way to preserve all of the extra cheese, from the holidays 🙂 Have you seen all of the videos, spanning each social media platform, that teach cheese making? Have you tried it yet? Have you attempted to make a hard cheese? I'm sure you've seen, or perhaps even purchased cheese with a wax rind.

Tapache
I don't know about you, but I am not a fan of soda pop. I've never been a fan. I find them all really sweet, and knowing the ingredients makes me dislike them even more. I do like carbonation, so I stick to plain old soda water, if I drink anything from a can/bottle. For the past few years I've been studying the benefits of fermented drinks, and I've learned quite a lot. Not only are they so much better for us, but they offer great benefits for gut and overall health, t
