My mom and I went to Deli Italia at 1990 Wadsworth Dr. in Lakewood Colorado and met Riccardo. He was an extremely nice man with fair prices and as a bonus he took us behind the counter and showed us how to make mozzarella with a microwave (it tastes best when warm).
First pour some water over the curd in a microwave safe dish.
You then boil the curd until it is very soft, you microwave it in segments of one minute.
You then drain the water until it is just the curd.
You then salt the cheese curd well.
You fold the rest of the cheese, kneading slightly.
This is Riccardo!
You then roll the cheese into balls and eat or plastic wrap it.
The cheese.
We made a salad of sorts with it, just tomatoes, olives, frisee, fresh basil and marinated artichoke hearts. 
yum! thats really cool!
