Day 4 - Cheese Biscuits, Wine, Safety

Today was all lecture...my backside was tired! First thing this morning Darina demonstrated the biscuits(crackers) that go on the cheese tray...the ones that I was supposed to have made yesterday but didn't! She also demonstrated red currant jelly. She talked about local artisanal cheese makers and we got to sample four different products, all were fantastic. I learned that the mold that makes blue cheese so scrumptious can infect other cheeses in your refrigerator...so that's why my havarti sometimes turns blue, who knew! Finally got some exercise, it was fantastic walking on the country lane looking at the greenfields. I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M IN IRELAND GOING TO COOKING SCHOOL!
Cheers,
Karen
