Say Cheese!!!!!
We L-O-V-E cheese!!!! Mozzarella, Parmesan, Romano, Asiago and oh yes, Goat cheese. Lance thought it would be fun if we tried to make our own so as of yesterday, we are officially makers of Goat cheese. See recipe section for complete list of needed supplies.
The supplies needed are of course, goat's milk, vinegar (or lemons) and any herbs/spices you want to flavor the cheese with.
Pour the milk into a pot (not aluminum, we don't want a reaction) and stir until it gets to a rolling boil. KEEP STIRRING we don't want it to burn. Add the acid (lemons or vinegar) and continue to stir. You will want to remove the pot from the heat during this step. Once you notice the curds separating from the whey pour cheese mixture into strainer lined with cheesecloth.
Try to drain most of the liquid from the cheese cloth and add any seasoning you want to use now. We chose to use red pepper flakes and sea salt
I would recommend letting it cool before you eat too much but we couldn't wait to try it.

AWESOME. I want some. Where did you get the goats milk? How long does the process take?
