Woah. I didn't know that Ricotta was that easy to make. Guess I'll try the recipe with Lemon Juice and put it on some Lasagna next time.

Paneer is super easy. And fun! I made goatneer. Goat milk hand squeezed by me!

Then I made eggplant lasagna with it. Delicious!

Feeding whey to the pigs is amazing. Gets them to scrape that last inch of slops up out of the feed bin. And at the last place I worked, the goats got a taste for it too, so they would get ice cold whey in the summer. One time we put a frozen block of it out, that kept them entertained for awhile. The current goats I work with don't have a taste for it though.

Turns out milk containing any amount of colostrum retards curd formation! Good to know now. In other news, the 30 minute mozzarella turned into a confusing but still tasty farmer cheese of sorts.

Y'know, if he did it on a tortilla and charcoal grill, we'd call it Bar Pizza and applaud.

Sounds like some I'm Gonna Get You Sucka-level partitioning right there.

Hey, when they say they break packages, I take advantage.

Speaking of aged cheddar: 40 year Tillamook just showed up at my office.

They really don't clean out the back of the cheese aging room too often. They also got Jimmy Hoffa back there.

So what's my best bet for storing this monstrosity after I start digging into it?

The cheese on top is a half pound of random grocery store provolone for scale. Actual weight 3.67lbs.

You're never going to finish it, just bury it and run away from the great London fire like a champ.

UHT anything will not curdle. The UHT process denatures the proteins in such a way that they just aren't ever going to curdle in any way useful for cheese. It would be kinda like using a scrambled egg to make egg nog.
