So I periodically get an itch to learn some homesteading skills, and the turn has come to cheese.

After an initial look, it seems hard to do in my apartment, especially fitting a good cheese press, and a climate controlled storage.

Is it feasible to make cheese from an apartment? Do you know of any resources for suitable adaptations or other handy tips? Have you tried yourself? What worked well and what is better avoided altogether?

Sometimes one just doesn't have the energy to do what needs done. How do you manage it?

(prompted by the thread about repetitive topics)

I've been asked to make a Thai Red curry with chicken for a larger party, and they've asked for the soup to be of variable spicyness.

I was thinking that maybe I could do the soup mild, and have an additive with extra spice.

I could go with chilli oil ofc, but I'd prefer to have the richness of the red curry flavors if possible.

Is there a good way to make some kind of red curry seasoning? Do I just offer the guests red curry paste to mix into the soup, or should I mix it with something?

One of my favorite creators made a little vlog [3:33] about finding herself a stick on a gloomy day.

I just found it today, and thought it might delight this comm.

Hope you enjoy.
