What is rennet, and why is it important to the cheesemaking process? 🤔

Rennet is an enzyme used to coagulate milk. It transforms the liquid milk into a firm, jello-like mass in about 25-40 minutes. Once the milk is coagulated, it's cut with wire knives (or "cheese harps"), which starts the process of separating the curds from the whey. This is the very beginning of transforming milk into cheese! 🐮🧀

What to do with that dusty old bicycle that isn't getting used, or spare bike components, accessories, tubes, or tires? Bring them in to Reuse-a-Palooza on Sun. Oct. 4, where Working Bikes will be collecting them for repair and reuse. Pictured here: the haul from our last Reuse-a-Palooza!

Pro tip: you can donate your old cycles to Working Bikes at their shop, or at a host of locations throughout Chicagoland, the burbs, and beyond, with advance coordination. But you should come to Reuse-a-Palooza regardless; it's gonna be a blast!

Let’s Talk Matcha.

Let’s Talk Syke!

If you’re a consumer of the green stuff, you really need to hit up the concoctions with quality matcha at Evolet Eve & Cora Coffee.

They are created by Skye, and folks, she’s a natural at flavor profiles and pairings.

Maybe her nickname should be: Green Goddess? 🤔

Have you tried our popular Strawberry Macaroon Matcha?

That’s all her.

And get excited, as she’s already creating new flavor concoctions for matcha, cold brews, and lattes to be released this Spring & Summer aka Cozy AF Patio Season!

Cheers, Mo 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
