Goats Milk Semi Soft Cheese (Quick & Easy)
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!

Farm Life.....Sun..90*
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.

Farm Life....Sunny... HOT...91*
Does pulling weeds fall into the "I'll get to that eventually"
category at your place? This patch of Perilla Mint, a noxious weed,
has been haunting me all summer. I have never let it get this far
ahead of me. With over 2" of rain the other night I saw my opportunity
and duty to get busy. It is just starting to bloom, and it turned out
someone else was watching too. With my head near the ground trying to
loosen those stubborn roots, I missed at first a buzzing that was
increasing in volume. Yes, honey bees were all over it. They were so
diligent in their task, they didn't mind my proximity at all. I
watched and watched to determine their flight path, but couldn't
follow any of them. I've always wanted to find a honey tree, I guess
not this time. Oh for a youngster who'd have the time to accomplish
that feat. Well at least I had time to come get the camera!
