I have however, said yes to cheesemaking!
I am reading a book by Barbara Kingsolver called: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, whereupon she and her family retreat to the country side and grow their own food/eat local from their county for a year. Much of the prosthelytizing I ignore (I get enough of it at school and do my fair share of it as well) but some parts are especially good. She really tries to impart the lack of mystery behind canning, slaughtering and food growing, which I appreciate. One of the things she does is make her own cheese, so I looked up the company online and ordered a mozzarella/ricotta kit, and we haven't bought cheese in weeks. I promise to share some of the cheesmaking process with you later.
I am just doing some reading for my Food Nutrition and Health 200 class "Exploring our food", and I came across this link from the Government of Canada which has some interesting statistics about trends in Canadian food consumption.
