I finally finished putting up our "Once A Month" grocery haul. This always takes a day or two, because I also reorganize and clean out our refrigerator and our freezers to make room for the new groceries. Since we still have to eat during this process, I also made lunch when I was able to stop for a bit.
One of the last things that I needed to do was package the 10-pounds of cheese for the freezer. I ordered Pepper Jack and Smoked Cheddar this time. We still have plenty of Colby jack and some mozzarella from a previous order. The mozzarella is running a bit low, so I will put it in my cart at Azure Standard, so I won't forget to order it in our next order. I keep an active list of needs and wants in my cart. I add and subtract things until I have the order I want to place.

Pepper Jack grilled cheese sandwiches, homemade potato salad, sliced apples (of course)
and two types of probiotic salsas. |
 |
Both types of cheese were crafted by Rumiano.
I did not take a picture of the smoked cheddar package. |
 |
| Shaved pepper jack cheese and fresh homemade bread. |
 |
| Lots of peppers, but the flavor is not too hot. |
 |
| The trick to freezing cheese is to wrap it tightly with plastic wrap making sure that there is no air in between the wrap and the cheese. |
 |
| Softer cheeses freeze better than hard cheeses. Hard cheeses tend to crumble when grating after freezing, but other than that the flavor is not compromised. |
 |
I packaged the smoked cheddar in smaller portions,
because a little goes a long way. It is a lovely hard cheese with lots of smoke flavor. |
 |
| We had a snack of roasted pumpkin seeds and dried mango slices after we finished up our long day. Both are superb Azure Market products. |
 |
These are the two types of salsas that we
ate with our meal. I really enjoyed both flavors. |
 |
We have new landowners close by, so I want to give a shoutout to M & A and welcome
them to the wild west! |
Blessings,
Mrs. Smith
