When I was 19 years old I dropped out of college to try to escape a bad situation, and I ended up at my grandparent's dairy farm. I spent many days making and selling cheese, doing deliveries, milking cows, and keeping the shop open. Then I'd go back to my room and write at

@teachrobotslove Dairying is maybe the most hardcore kind of farming Ah, you broke your leg? Cows still need milking, better get back out there once the cast is on lest some poor beast get mastitis

@teachrobotslove Honestly, depending on what you were planning to study in college, working on a dairy farm was probably going to teach you many more practical skills than college would have anyways.

@teachrobotslove Nice will this be available for shipping? Also, if you have sheep one day, please make a domestic version of manchego. The only US variations/inspirations I can find have weird additions like cinnamon and paprika

@teachrobotslove Maybe you can help me then. I make Mozzarella cheese. When I get to the part of curing it in scalding water to make it to it's final stage of stringy and stretchy, it just breaks up on me. What am I doing wrong?

@SaltyBoomer777 Mozzarella is really tough to make. There is a "mozarella" recipe floating around but it is more like a farmer's cheese and the texture won't be the same... are you using vinegar/yogurt or a rennet and culture? PH level is too variable in vinegar so sometimes it just plain doesnt

Our allies need to be bold and make it crystal clear in bilateral meetings with Trump that if indications become strong he intends to end democratic rule and Constitutional law and stay in office past his term, diplomatic relations will greatly suffer. And just leave it at that.
