    First mozzarella attempt

    Followed @SmokinAl step by step. I did have quite a bit of loose curds. At the end I heated 45 second at a time pouring off whey each time. I never did get to a shiny floss finish or stretchable.

    Throwdown Entry Italian Sausage & Peppers Soup

    Again I am flattered to have won. Many of the entries were just off the hook and frankly a bit more complex than mine.
