Washing The Fontinas and Making Raclette Cheese


Hi Friends,

Today I'm posting a video to show you how to wash your cheese if you need to! Also, I'm about to start making a Raclette cheese. Raclette is actually a dish of roasted potatoes with melted cheese on top; but over the years, and with the invention of the Raclette machine, it's also known as a type of Swiss-style melty cheese...mmmm!


This was our New Year's Eve dinner in 2017. Alex and I had just found a Raclette machine at a thrift store and we wanted to try it! 


Back then I bought the cheese but I'm hoping that the cheese I start today will be ready for this New Year's Eve!


Oh the excitement of melted cheese!!! :)

  3. I dearly love melted cheese, Rain! But we rarely indulge. I had never heard of a Raclette machine before, and now I know way better than to get one for us. I wouldn't be able to resist the temptation, and I'd look like a big ball of cheese.

    Your video was fun to watch. I like your soft, calm voice and how you focus on one step of the process. Short videos are good, because most people can make the time to watch one. I know I'll likely never make homemade cheese, but I am fascinated by observing your progress and by learning. Wishing you success with your cheese and looking forward to see how you progress.

    I hope that you and Alex have a good weekend. I can't remember if I commented on the great standing desk that Alex but for you. That is definite love in action! And I was thrilled to learn that you are making progress in dealing with pain. We have to be proactive and do what we can to help ourselves. I hope the little squirrels are doing well. Are you going to put squirrel food out in the winter? Hugs to you!

  5. Thanks Louise :) I agree, the Raclette machine is DANGEROUS lol...we only bring it out once or twice a year though. But our fondue pot is just as dangerous I suppose! :) The stand up desk is working so well! Though last night I had a flare up and it brought me to tears...I need to find a comfy way to sit in bed! Still working on that. Otherwise, I don't feel pain throughout the day as long as I don't sit too long! Happy for that! We still see one of the squirrels, Spunky. We know it's him because he has a really specific pattern in his tail. He comes back for food and chirps at us each morning! Yes, we will definitely be putting food out all winter!!!

  6. I will probably never make cheese as it sounds too ambitious for me, lol but I will enjoy watching you do it and looking at the photos.
