I've been thinking about trying to recycle the Manure for methane fuel and maybe packaging up some as organic fertilizer. Also, I am interested in placing up some solar panel arrays and exploring any other new Green Tech and Resources out there. Am very interested but don't know where to start.

If you pick up a copy of green farming you will see an add about a dairy that just did that. Also ANFO is a dairy products co. But has great info on those topics. I would love to know more about your cheese.

I understand the sharpness, but in the store there are cheddars from different places. What makes them different?
I love Cheddar too. Cheddar and Havarti are my two favorites. I was just wondering if there was a difference in taste.

Cattle that graze in different pastures produce milk that has different flavours. So regional cheeses will have slightly different notes.

I've matched the wines w/ the cheese but I have no clue of what else to do. I'm open to all suggestions as I plan this gala event. I'm looking for new, bright, original ideas. Thanks.

-Choose a date and time.
-Decide on the size of the reception.
-Choose a location.
-Decide on the formality of the event.
-Decide on the invitations.
-Compile a guest list.
-Get invitations and write them to those invited. Make sure there is contact information to RSVP.
-Get a complete head count for those attending so you may purchase the appropriate amount of food and wine.
-Decide on decorations that will coincide with the formality of the party.
-Arrange the space and decorate for the occasion
-If you are having servers, make sure they are ready. If it is buffet style, make sure all the food and wine pairings are arranged appropriately. You can do this in stations.
-Make sure you have appropriate stemware for each type of wine and plates and flatware to sample the cheeses.
-Have some fruit and bread around also.
-Be a gracious host and make sure you circulate.

Some ideas would be to have a brief history and description of the wines and cheeses on the table so as they sample, they can read about what they are trying.

You can also put together a brochure with the types of wine and cheese pairings so they can take it home and refer back to it.
You can number the stations and suggest a "route" to go from one to the other.

Enjoy.

If So what are the Equivalent Measurements? http://www.macheesemo.com/cheese/can-mascarpone-cheese-be-substituted-for-cream-cheese-if-so-what-are-the-equivalent-measurements http://www.macheesemo.com/cheese/can-mascarpone-cheese-be-substituted-for-cream-cheese-if-so-what-are-the-equivalent-measurements#comments Thu, 04 Sep 2008 20:22:19 +0000 admin http://www.macheesemo.com/cheese/can-mascarpone-cheese-be-substituted-for-cream-cheese-if-so-what-are-the-equivalent-measurements I love to cook, and especially bake. But I was wondering if it is possible to substitute Mascarpone cheese for cream cheese in recipes, and if so, what are the equivalent measurements?

Because, though I love cream cheese, on bagels, bread, and other savory (non-sweet) foods, I ABSOLUTELY HATE cream cheese based desserts.

I hate the salty feeling, and especially the weird after-taste that cream cheese leaves.

Although, there are some great dessert recipes I found, that I want to start making, they are all cream cheese based, and I want to make them with a sweeter (better tasting) substitution, and I am hoping that Mascarpone cheese will be the right equivalent.

If so, what measurements do I use when I substitute the mascarpone. I mean, if a recipe calls for 3 oz of cream cheese, do I substitute it with 3 oz of mascarpone cheese, or do I use more mascarpone, less mascarpone or what - and how much??

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Rob Lou, why can't you make cheesecake with Mascarpone? All it would do is just give it a sweeter, creamier taste, right?

Not that I want to use cream cheese in ANY dessert, which is the basis for my question.

I HATE cream cheese in desserts. I think it tastes weird and gross, and I hate the horrible after-taste.

That's why I want to know if mascarpone can be used instead.

It would be the exact same measurements. The only difference is the savory taste of the cream cheese vs. the sweet taste of the mascarpone cheese. I find mascarpone cheese a bit creamier than cream cheese too. Cream cheese has a bit of a grainy texture sometimes. Cheesecake made with mascarpone is creamier and sweeter.
