I made cheese today!! It was really easy, actually – I told Arvind I wanted to learn how to make palak paneer – literally translated, spinach & cheese. I thought it involved pre-made cheese, but apparently you make your own. Since it was raining today, I couldn’t hang the cheese out on the clothesline to dry, so I hung the cheesecloth bundle on the bathtub faucet to drain, and then squished it between two plates with a vase full of water on top for weight.
The paneer turned out like a hard cottage cheese, and the dish turned out well, although it was a distinctly healthier version than the (yummy) greasy ones I’m used to at Indian restaurants. Still tasted good, though.
Arvind left for India by way of Thailand today, with only a miniature suitcase so he can have room to bring back everything he’s buying!
Sarah had two days off from the hotel today, and I was running some fun errands (bead store, Spotlight and grocery shopping) so I invited her along for company and then she came back for dinner and got to see the place for the first time and meet Jane.
