Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I know this is TOTALLY and completely off-subject, but Chris were you raised at all Greek Orthodox or are you a cradle Catholic....just curious!    You can tell me to mind my own business, too.    You know your Greek cheeses, that's for sure!   



...Both! Well, sort of . My Dad is Greek Orthodox and my Mom is Catholic. We were raised in the Catholic Church, so I'm a cradle Catholic. However, my Dad's family (very large and wonderful - all 14 of them!) had a rich, rich cultural influence on our family. I cannot get enough of the authentic Greek cuisine - so delicious! Though we didn't practice Greek Orthodox, we did observe the Greek - Easter celebration, as well as our Catholic traditions as well.

I don't mind you asking one bit Nina! I love talking about my family. My parents. Their parents. Such tremendous people they were, and are.


Thank you for answering my question, Chris, and in the sweetest way! You sound so grateful, and are very blessed.   

I looooove Greek food (never heard of some of those cheeses!). I always crave Avogolemono Soup from the local restaurant when I am really sick.

God bless!

My favorites are Swedish Fontina and Gouda, which are pretty similar. Next, I'd put havarti, especially with dill in it, then Dubliner. I like cheese way too much!

Peace,
Nancy

How to make mozzarella, here's a good breakdown:

There are other cheesemaking threads on there, as well. I very much enjoy this blog and the forums...
