Cheesemakers!

It was bound to happen someday. We made cheese.

We used this great 30-minute mozzarella and ricotta kit from New England Cheesemaking Supply Company. It made things very simple. The mozzarella was a few steps more complicated, so we just made the ricotta. It is so delicious! Jake is in the process of making pizza dough using the whey. No whey! Yes whey!

Sorry about the punning.

Here's the pot full o' curds & whey:


Here's the cheese in Jake's improvised hanging position (the bag is tied to a hinge on the cabinet):
We have a whole lotta whey, so let us know your favorite whey recipes. Also, we have a couple pounds of delicious ricotta. YUM!
