Ah cheese...this weekend I had my first attempt at making this wonderful substance...tried to start off with an easy cheese that was tasty...one can never go wrong with queso blanco:)

Milk in Abundance...every day we get about 1 and a half gallons from Chole...it will be more once we take Charlie off of her at night...(there are 4 glass containers missing from the fridge)

Heat the milk to 185-190 degrees

Add Apple cider vinegar..and you get curds and whey!

place curds in a cheese cloth and let it hang for several hours


The cheese was wonderful...though out of 2 gallons I got only 1 lb if cheese...alittle frustrating...and my how I appreciate the amount of cheese I consume...you get little cheese from alot of milk...I think maybe I did something wrong...the recipe said I should get 3 lbs..hmm...maybe next time...but it was tasty...
On another note I took on Stony ledge this weekend...a steep hike about 5 mins. from here..I finally had the energy...It was lovely....
