2007-Sep-28 Serving Sizes...EEK! 2006-Jun-5 French Style Chevre
French style chevre
(this is a recipe taken from the very useful book, Goats Produce Too)
5 qts. whole goat milk
1/2 cup cultured buttermilk
2 Tbsp. diluted rennet (dilution = 3 drops liquid rennet into 1/3
cup cool water. Do not use rennet tablets from the grocery store.)
Warm milk to 80 degrees.
Stir in buttermilk. Mix well. Add 2 Tbsp. of diluted rennet mixture.
Stir well and cover. Let set at room temperature for 8-12 hours. Cheese
is ready to drain when it looks like thickened yogurt. Curds may have a
thin layer of whey floating on top.
Only use muslin cheesecloth
(not the gauzy stuff called cheesecloth) or pillowcase cloth to drain.
Line a large bowl or pan with cloth. Pour curds into center of cloth.
Gather up corners of cloth and hang to drain 6-8 hours.
When dripping has stopped,
cheese is ready. It should be the consistency of cream cheese. To speed
up draining, scrape the sides of the bag towards the center several
times during the draining process.
This cheese is soft and mild. It can
be seasoned with a variety of herbs or spices. Or, use it as a
substitute for cream cheese in other recipes. The cheese keeps well,
refrigerated, for two weeks.
Freeze unseasoned, in one
pound packages. Keeps well frozen for 6 months. Do not freeze seasoned
cheeses. Herbs and spices will lose their potency and flavor. Thaw at
room temperature. Season after thawing. (One pound = two cups)
Wrap well before freezing, or use heavy freezer bags.

2006-Mar-14 More on Young Green Coconuts
This is how the young green (or Thai, as they are sometimes referred
to) cocnuts look when you get them. The green husk has been chopped
away.
This is what it looks like after you puncture it to drain the liquid, and cut it open.
It should be nice and white. If it's pink, purple, or grey, it's spoiled and you
should throw it out.
These can be purchased at healthfood or natural food stores, and asian
markets, as well as a few other ethnic markets. If your local organic
food store doesn't carry them, ask. My market started, and once we told
them we would like more, they started getting them in weekly. They cost
$1.99 where I buy them, but some people are getting them for under a
dollar apiece. They are worth it.

2006-Mar-9 Cottage Cheese from raw milk
Cottage Cheese from raw milk
Ingredients/ Equipment: Whole raw milk, colander, cheesecloth
Allow milk to sit out at room temperature, covered, at 75 to 85 degrees
for 3 to 5 days until congealed like Jell-o. Any small white mold on
top is harmless--mix it in, you'll never notice it's there. Cut into 1
inch squares and "plop" into cheesecloth. You can hang the cloth or
place it in the colander for a few hours until it's dried to the
consistency you like. Don't discard the drained out liquid as this is
WHEY. It is very nutritious and also useful in recipes. Thin the
cottage cheese with more raw milk if you like and add salt to your
taste.
