SAY CHEEEEEZ!!!


Made goat cheese today!!! My girls are doing great! Am having a bit of xtra goat milk so thought I would take advantage of the Xtras---- GOAT CHEESE! Just the simple, nothing fancy, quick-n-easy goat cheese. Actually, it was easy but not QUICK!!! Took me an hour of stirring at low to medium heat to get the cold 'goats milk' to the temperature of 190-200 degrees---did I say AN HOUR??? That's a LONG time stirring!!! Standing and Stirring!!!
Standing and Stirring!!! That's OK---cause tomorrow we will be indulging in FRESH - HOMEMADE goats cheese---hmmmm---think of what fresh 'herby' flavors I want to add to it------------maybe just let it be a'natural!!
K---Love the name of Erma for one of the newbies, love LuLu-probably won't go with Monty, ask your Mom about that name! Am thinking there will be an Erma in the new herd!!!
Must touch a bit on Babe. Babe, born last March 24---just did not gain a lot of weight, not for sure what to do with her. She was just an itty bitty thing, thought about selling her, but she has changed so much as of late. I truly believe that she believes she will be the BEST milking goat EVER.!!!Not bred, no babies, not a drop of milk in her, but after Avalon is on her stanchion and milked, Babe comes out of the goat barn and jumps on the stanchion and we 'pretend' milking and she will be soooooooooo ready next spring after she kids----practice makes perfect!!! Will let you know how the goat cheese turns out!XOXOXOXOgmasu...
