I just ordered a kit, inspired by reading the book "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver, and also by hearing of my therapist's own experiences. I tried to interest a friend of mine into trying it with me, but she disdains of any kitchen related activities (um, other than the finished products!) and so I'll be doing this solo.
It looks really easy, at least for mozzarella to begin with.
And, I think it's a really good sign that I'm considering playing in the kitchen. At least, at this moment I am. The days have been rough rides. They start out OK but I can never tell what direction they will go in. Yesterday was just about a disaster by the time I managed to get the meal on the table, just horrid. But it's over and at it's now Yesterday.

Listening to speakers from the American continent is like hearing the language of my grandparents, with 'horrid' and 'oh my!', expressions never used here any more.
I have made paneer, an idiot-proof cheese.
This was from a Hare Krishna recipe.Perhaps you are making one of the more accomplished cheeses?
I like Haloumi.
For that, I suppose, you have to first milk your ewe.

Hope today is better AND tomorrow.
Good sign to be in the kitchen & considering such a project!!
Is she the author - crumb - can't remember the name of the book...I can see the cover...about a family in Africa.
I send loving thoughts your way. luv, Kath
I remember years ago when I was sort of into 'New Age' stuff - made my own yogurt - was looking into making my own rennet-free cheese & read about using the 'fluff' from some Thistle plant instead of rennet! Of course, never got around to doing it. That was decades ago, when recycing wasn't even heard of & I was doing it anyway. Feels like a LIFETIME ago.
