Making Cheese!

Okay, I have been putting this off for quite awhile now but I finally got my cheese made! I just started out with a basic mozarella kit from Lerners.com. I made the mozarella and then made some ricotta with the leftover whey so that I can use it in homemade lasagna tommorrow! I will post how we make the noodles for that tommorrow hopefully. Everything is going really well and the chickens are getting so BIG! One of the silkies is so big I am thinking she may be a he?? Buster trying crowing Sunday morning around 7 I couldn't help but giggle cause he sounded like a drowning chicken! So funny! I haven't heard him since though at first I thought it was Ty snoring but it wasn't. The vegetables are growing like crazy and I transplanted a bunch of broccoli, lettuce, cabbage, swiss chard, sunflowers and nasturtiums, from the seeds that I had started awhile ago, today. Hopefully, they will take root and grow into full blown plants. I am also putting together a plan for my mini orchard and bramble area (this will have cherry, pear, nectarine, apple, plum, raspberry, blackberry and blueberries). Very excited for this to come into play. Fresh fruit for pies, jams, smoothies, pancakes and just eating plain! I know it takes a couple of years for the fruit to come in but I know it will be worth the wait! Anyway, back to the cheese it was fun and easy to make and I will be making lots more for us to eat and for our pizza!!
