darchildreI am making cheese!
Because a) I have always wanted to learn to make cheese, b) this adds an item to my list of skills that will be useful after the apocalypse*, and c) I feel kinda nebulously grumpy and that means that I should distract myself by doing something productive. Thus, cheese. Hopefully, it will be delicious, because it is easy enough that I could do it often. And then I could progress to more difficult cheeses!
Someday, I will make my own cotija. That is my eventual goal.
*Currently, the list is "I can knit my own socks, bake bread, make a variety of variations on 'crust-stuffed-with-meat', and I know a lot of stories and songs. Also, I own a drop spindle, though I don't have any skill with it, but I imagine I could master it given enough practice." Cheese-making will be a valuable addition.
