Restaurant Review: Whisknladle

The atmosphere at Whisknladle on Wall Street in La Jolla is probably the best example of laid back, classy-casual dining, maybe in the whole city.  The covered patio is just gorgeous and airy yet comfortable and cozy- read: “romantic”.  They […]

Soft Yogurt Cheese

dsc_0303_2

Supplies:

  • 1 medium to large bowl
  • 1 strainer basket
  • 2 layers of cheese cloth (you can use coffee filters)
  • Plastic wrap
  • 1 quart yogurt

Directions:

  1. Line the strainer with 2 layers of cheese cloth.  You may use coffee filters for quick and easy clean-up.
  2. Put the strainer inside the bowl. The bowl needs to have a little room for the liquid to drip so make sure that the strainer is not touching the bottom of the bowl.
  3. Pour the yogurt into the strainer. It’s best to work in smaller batches so the process is faster.
  4. Cover the bowl entirely with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours.
  5. Remove the strainer. Transfer the cheese spread to another bowl and stir briefly. Your yogurt cheese is now ready to be served!

Your home-made yogurt cheese is great companion to toast, bagels, crackers and anything that you would usually serve with cream cheese or spread.

Yes and yes.  Is it a good reason to skip work and eat a bunch of deep fried delicacies? Absolutely. Folks, there’s vendors selling air plants and farmers showing cloven hooved truffle sniffers wallowing in their own filth.  And where else can you get a corn dog the size of a small child? Read more »
