day 4 pizza and mozzarella

Today was a day of rest!  We took a pizza and mozzarella class offered by Francesca, one of the family members that owns the farm.  It was so much fun!  Mozzarella is remarkably easy to make.  Fresh milk is combined with a coagulant and then  pieces of chopped off and added to hot water.  The cheese strings and is formed into shapes.  From there it is first put in cold water and then salted water.  It was so yummy!There is a fresco from pompei that is on this blog and I don't know how to delete it but anyway!!  We then made pizza!!  Fun!  After that, I sat in the lounge area of the restaurant and read a book!  It was so peaceful.  Beautiful flowers all around and Kira the dog next to me sleeping!
