Andrew's new favorite food

This post is not about a trip or something exciting that Andrew and I did around Aalborg, but rather, something exciting I did in our apartment:  today I made homemade ricotta. (It was exciting for me, and Andrew, who I think is going to force me to make it all the time so he has a never-ending supply.) I may have a small kitchen here and limited supplies, but my time, energy, and creativity are somewhat unbound. I found a recipe a few months ago and have been meaning to try it, and today was the day. Andrew couldn't say enough nice things about it, one of which was that it was the best thing he'd ever eaten. He likes everything I make, but that was pretty good to hear. And it WAS delicious... and so easy! All you need is milk, cream, a pinch of salt, and some lemon juice. Let me know if you want to try this and I'll send you the recipe - so much better than store-bought!

The easiest part: waiting for the whey to strain
Pre-dinner snack: fresh ricotta on toast
Dinner for two: cheese & basil pizza
I have no delusions of turning this into a food blog, so next time, we're back to non-food-related business.
