Oh I sooo miss my goaties! I used to love sitting up in the barn in the evening, just taking in the grunts and the warmth, the smell of the hay, even the cud breath when a lady belched at me. I used to make 'bag' cheese because I didn't have a press.

Pour the curd into an old thin dish towel or diaper, gather the corners and twist all the clothe above the curds until the whey starts to run out, tie it up and hang over a pot to drip. Rearrange and retwist a few times over the first day. Makes a funky round ball of cheese...

PP, don't those Tigers carry malaria etc? I'll post more pictures of this new design when I get the cheese out of the press.

I live within 150 miles or less of NE MS. It was 68 degrees at 3 am. I had to turn on the ac. Later in the morning, it was 43 degrees. I noticed the spring grass is greening.

The cheese press interests me, too.

The mosquito that tried to get me was promptly squashed but it flew off. It was a monster, Tiger mosquito, transplanted from Japan.

LOL Anon, yep, it's been like that here too! I worry it's going to affect the coming planting season and possibly not kill of the bugs etc. I saw a skeeter 3 days ago! I smooshed him on the truck window.

the big ole wally world makes me nauseous...here in the little town i live nearby there is still one of those itty bitty original forty year old wally worlds..but, i absolutely hate the place. i have yet to find one item i have ever gone in there to look for and purchase. i do have some luck sometimes when i buy some of the discounted plants they have not outright killed... we have had really strange weather this week in n.e.miss. we have had lots of rain, then a sunny day, then 80degrees for two days then rain and cold again. it is enough to frost your preserves, let me tell ya.

Yes I sure do. Email me (mmpaints@yahoo.com) and I'll send you a bunch of pictures of this one I just made and the first one I made that is even more basic and simple. I think I spent $15 on wood for this one I just made and it took 45 minutes to build.

I have been prousing the net for a good "make it yourself" cheese press list of supplies. .... . do you have one? I am wanting to make a simple press that will work. They are so danged expensive to purchase one. Have a fun class!
