Little Miss Muffet

A new experience for me thanks to a gift from a former student (Thanks, JM!).  It was easier than making beer but fairly labor intensive.  

Scooping the curds from the whey

Pressing the curds into cheese in the background, whey soup in the front

Drying out the hunks of cheese

Cheese made this way is somewhere on the cottage cheese to mozzarella spectrum.  

So far, I've eaten the cheese plain, in a sandwich, on a hamburger, on a salad.... who knew?
 

I also have a lot of whey I need to make use of.  (Not a sentence I have ever constructed before)
