Who cut the cheese?

couldn't resist the post title. Cuz I'm 10.
I went over to Kasey's last night after my kids went to bed.
We designed, stamped, punched, embossed, cut out, embellished, and assembled 30 kits for homemade thank you cards (that are totally cute, btw) for November's Relief Society Meeting. We talked and laughed.
And we made cheese!
Check it out:
4 gallons of local milk
add mesophilic culture, calcium chloride, and rennet.
heat, stir, wait, repeat. (x like 50)"cut" the cheese curds.
Cheddar the cheese.
Add salt.
Drain.
Press. (we finally got to use our fancy pants handmade maple cheese presses.)

Cheese curds are stinky. drumroll please........Tada! Now we will dry, wax, and age for a minimum of 90 days.


This wheel of cheddar and I have a hot date set for Valentine's Day.
