What to do with all that milk!

[Mini Horses]

That DOES sound good. I love cheese sticks like that. My DD & DgrD would even eat those I bet. You could probably use to stuff jalapenos....can prep & freeze for later.

FREE.

And those rascals are expensive in frozen food!

I'll get my mozzarella, ricotta & cheese logs all made up this Summer & Fall. I do not like to milk in freezing temps. So try to dry them off about Christmas. Jan & Feb can be pretty icy here. Wasn't this year but, normally our coldest time.

If this thread doesn't make you want a milk goat, nothing will.

You might have to ask my DH! The last two batches he made alllll by himself! We've got cheese in the freezer, cheese in the fridge, and we'll probably make some more with tonight's milk. Cheese does not take as much room in the freezer or fridge!

Wow good for him!

That is awesome! I have 4.5 gallons in freezer of milk and 2.5 in fridge now that I am weaning BOTH kids. I really want to make cheese but, time... And then waiting the 3 months for it to age is HARD for my DH. I think he has gotten to the point of ignoring it now lol.

Yikes - what kind of cheese are you making?

Does any of you make blue cheese? I'm curious what it would be like made with goat's milk, if it's possible? Goat's milk cheese is so nice and blue cheese is… Let's just say you can catch me in a trap with that stuff!

 

[samssimonsays]

I have a recipe for blue cheese but my stomach can not handle the idea. I don't actually like cheese.... yet I enjoy making it

I have made cheddar cheese, drunken goat cheese, mozzarella, feta, chevre, farmers (I do like the farmers with garlic and basil on crackers tho...!) I have over 34 recipes (different types of cheeses) and hubby made me a wonderful cheese press to help me try it. I will do Parm, manchego and a few others this year just building my stash for it. My coworkers LOVE IT.
