A Cheesy YUM Event- Wanna Come?
Here at YUM, we've decided that a little cheese making is in order. In case you haven't noticed, we're big fans of cheese, and crafting our own seems to be the next logical step. Besides, making fresh mozzarella and ricotta is simple (so they tell me), so why not give it a try?
Are you interested in joining us? On Monday, January 7th from 6:30PM – 8:30PM a handful of YUM writers will congregate in a gorgeous city kitchen to partake in the age-old art of cheesemaking. We have just enough room for a reader or two. Would you like to come? If so, send me an email with the word “cheese” in the memo line by Friday, January 4th at 5PM. We're going to draw winners randomly from the entries and we'll let you know if you were selected by Saturday, January 5th at 9AM.
We're aiming for a fun and casual evening, and we hope you'd like to join us.

Gimme a (coffee) break
With the opening of more and more coffee houses downtown, some people wonder if Buffalo is really a coffee town. Buffalo is the original coffee town!
The "coffee break" which is taken for granted as a standard part of any work day has only been around for about a hundred years. Coffee culture has continued to flourish in this country and the espresso boom of the Pacific Northwest in the 1990s has seen to it that every other gas station in America now has a barista on staff.

Sea Bar-City
It's great to see stylish, hip, new restaurants pop up downtown such as Sea Bar on Ellicott Street, which specializes in contemporary Japanese food. A clean ultra-modern space, Sea Bar’s dining room is quaint and inviting. The sleek sushi bar has counter seating and the wet bar, with beer, sake, and wine, has at least 10 sakes to choose from on any given night. We were happy to try a Sojitio, a sake mojito, which had the right amount of mint without too much sweetness.

Dinosaur Stalks Buffalo!!
Ten years ago, the downtown of My Fair City was forever altered when a Big Dinosaur appeared on the scene. Thankfully—unlike 1950’s Tokyo—when this dino showed up our downtown wasn’t flattened, but considerably improved. Dinosaur Bar B Que, a restaurant that originated in downtown Syracuse in the 1980’s, planted its foot in downtown Rochester in 1998. It was an instant hit—it’s common to have a line waiting to get in at all times. And it’s clearly Hog Heaven— … - Nov 21st 2008, 9:05am

The hardest thing about making your own mozzarella is not eating it all while it is still warm.
Though pricey, the online kits are a good foolproof way to check it out, then when your say to yourself, "that's it, so easy", you can buy the rennet and citric acid ala carte for much cheaper. Before you know it, you'll be shopping around for white mold aging sheets to wrap your custom camemberts.

I wish I lived closer, it sounds like fun. We have been making homemade ricotta for years and just love the fresh taste and the control we have over the tartness, saltiness, fat and texture. It's really quite easy to make, here is a link to the recipe: http://noshtalgia.blogspot.com/2007/03/homemade-ricotta-cheese.html
