Cheese making

Springy and I made cheese today using a pint of organic whole milk which we curdled with lemon juice. We then squeezed out the whey by having the solids in a teatowel and added some herbs - homemade cheese tomorrow.

 To me it's got the texture of a medium cheese - if I was to improve it I would add a bit of salt next time and not just ... herbs. It would have been nice to have gone and milked a cow or goats too but we don't have access to any lactating mammals at the moment. I've also been lazy and not baked any bread because a rustic foccacia bread with olives would go well with it but I don't have time today.
