@Mercina, I'd love to know how you made the Homemade queso fresco cheese!!

Solid post! Sweet potato tater tots sounds so simple yet delicious. I've never heard of such a thing/tried it. Only ever had regular tater tots. Did you like them more than the regular old potato variety?[/quote]



They were great tasted just like sweet potato. I liked them much more than the regular variety.

MyM0wM0w It was the easiest thing on earth to make. I got 1 Gal of raw whole milk slowly heated it to 165-180 degrees. Removed it from the heat. added one table spoon at a time of distilled vinegar as I gently stirred constantly. Kept adding the vinegar until the proteins began to bind.( starts liking like curdled milk.) then I let it sit for 1 hour for the process to finish. Strained the milk into a cheese cloth(saving the remaining liquid) Added some sea salt to taste although next time I might add some fresh herbs as well. And twisted the top of the cheese cloth and squeezed as much of the liquid out. Used a rubber band to close the top of the cheese ball. Hung it in the fridge for about 4 hours. Viola! insta cheese.

The remaining liquid I used to marinate a tri tip in. Soaked the tri tip for 24 hours then rinsed the meat and tossed the liquid. seasoned the meat with usual suspects of salt ,pepper, onion, garlic and oregano and roasted until it reached med rare. It was MELT IN YO MOUTH tender.!!!
