Cheese please
I did it. I made something that actually resembles cheese with my own two hands. Yes, my kitchen looks like a bomb hit it. A cheese bomb. There are curds and whey everywhere; I will never recite "Little Miss Muffet" without having flashbacks. In fact, I have practically a gallon of whey, which I suspect is not quite the thing, and only a tiny bit of cheese. But it looks and tastes like mozzarella. And I learned a lot by just diving in and taking a stab at it. Next time, I predict more cheese and less mess.
Yay for me!
Yay for me!

I don't think I've ever met anyone that made cheese. I'm impressed.
BTW, yesterday's comment made me weep. Thanks for the loving support.
I just found out that regular people can make cheese at home last week. Did you use a kit? Is it delicious? Is the mess worse than the time I tried (unsuccessfully) to make pie crust nine times in one night? Because I think I might want to do this.
I did use a kit. You can find it at http://www.cheesemaking.com/. The cheese is tasty, but I want to tweak my salt amount a bit more. And I had to completely scrub down practically every inch of my kitchen, because it was that messy. But I am confident that I will be more prepared and less messy next time.
Mmm, cheese bomb...
Sadly, that describes my digestive system if I eat too much dairy goodness. But I think you're a superhero to have made your own cheese.
I want to try this SO much. But can I really handle being so fabulous that I make all my own dairy products?
Come back. I miss you. Besides, I left a raccoon for you over on my blog because I know how much you like 'em.
