Those who follow our pages know we have a soft spot for animals~ especially rescues, or the 'under-dogs' , from time to time we're going to be spotlighting pages we've found that are especially dedicated to animals and their well-being.
So Continuing our Animal page spotlight today with Woodcrafts by Feisty Dog-- a page we just met through the World Wide Web... but we like their mission! (( To date, we’ve donated nearly $1,500 in merchandise in 2014 to wonderful groups like PAWS Chicago, Save-A-Pet, etc. as well as our local Fire Department for their annual fundraiser. When someone purchases from us, we ask them if they have a favorite animal rescue. If they do, it is noted on the receipt as well as our books. We send check quarterly, and always round up to make it more beneficial. If the customer doesn’t have a specific rescue, we divide the funds among affiliated rescues )) read more here: http://www.thewoodwhisperer.com/articles/giving-back-through-woodworking-tis-the-season/

" Every season, like every person, has it's own beauty.... you just have to look harder to find it in some than others"
2 qts. fresh milk
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
seasonings of choice
Heat milk slowly in heavy bottom pan until 170-180*. Hold at that
temperature for 10 minutes. Slowly stir in vinegar until just begins
to separate. Shut off heat and barely stir.
When curds form (almost immediately) you can remove with slotted spoon to your bowl or pour into colander to drain.
If you don't use colander you'll need to pour
whey out of bowl.
In this state you'll have a firm cottage cheese type.
Add seasonings if desired.
If you press in colander or hang cheese in muslin the result will be a hard ball that can be sliced.
This is a mild tasting cheese that does up quickly.
Save the whey for cooking (pancakes, etc.) or watch next week for a delicious tomato soup recipe to use it up!
Rhythm & Rhapsody got their first turn to play on the milking stand.

| Haven't they grown? |
Rhapsody, never higher than ground level until
now, was sure the ceiling held a surprise.
Then she thought she better check the other side.
Eventually Rhythm decided to help with the
ceiling while Rhapsody checked behind that board.
Then they decided to work at it together.
