Been awhile since I’ve posted but I do have a few things in the queue.<\/p>\n

I did manage to find more cheese out here in CA. In fact I did find cheese curds at the farmer’s market in Campbell.<\/p>\n

\"Campell<\/p>\n

\"Curds<\/p>\n

With curds in hand I decided I needed to improve them by turning them properly molten. To that end I ordered a Deep Fryer off Amazon.com. In just under a weeks time I had everything I needed to transform the curds into molten goodness.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Deepfryer in hand I was now able to fry some curds. Just in case the curds didn’t turn out I also decided to make some french fries.<\/p>\n

\"Fries<\/p>\n

While the fries were frying I whipped up some batter for the curds.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Battering time! As you can see I froze the curds prior to this step so they’re all stuck together.<\/p>\n

\"Frozen<\/p>\n

While preparing the curds the fries got done. Golden and delicious!<\/p>\n

\"Golden<\/p>\n

Time for the newly battered curds to take a plunge. At this point the batter is still pretty damp and dripping off the curds.<\/p>\n

\"Curds<\/p>\n

Fry time.<\/p>\n

\"Frying<\/p>\n

Fried curds all molten and golden. That light stuff floating around them are bits of batter that became detached during the frying. It seems my homemade batter was a bit thick and some of it floated off in the fryer.<\/p>\n

\"Golden<\/p>\n

Oops I tried to dump them out but I made the mistake of having runny batter on the curds when they went in. The batter has cooked itself around the fry basket and so the curds won’t come out. I did manage to eat the curds by hacking them out of the basket.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

I also made some brats for a full WI meal.<\/p>\n

\"Brats\"<\/p>\n

Due to the batter melding to the basket I wasn’t able to actually fry all the curds. I ended up freezing a bunch of them for later. Using frozen curds with frozen batter works a lot better when frying. They still ended up as a giant lump since I cooked them to long but at least they came out of the basket.<\/p>\n
