Say CHEESE!

Dad, you would be proud. I helped Arlene make cheese today! Well, she actually did almost all of it. Apparently there's a place here where you can buy raw milk. I went with her yesterday to get a gallon and then today she did all the "cooking" of the stuff and later I helped her strain the cheese and knead it to get all the whey out. It was like rubbery dough! It turned out really good and tastes just like the mozarella (not sure how you spell that) cheese you get at the store.

She braided some of the cheese:

It was a fun experience, but I don't think I would want to do that as my everyday job, Dad. ;-)
