But there were no wounds.<br />Yes, send me a link to your blog!<br />About the online Cheese making class: it says on the supply list how many chevre molds to order. As for mold sizes for the other cheese: if you will make small rounds (2# cheese) with 2 gallons of milk, order the small size. If you want to make bigger rounds (4# cheese), order the bigger Tomme molds. As for cultures and rennet, I recommend ordering one small of each I listed. If you really love cheese making, you can order bigger sizes later on!<br />Marblemount Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10591217272029541556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612862199192033310.post-70547672467033532192015-05-31T08:19:38.749-07:002015-05-31T08:19:38.749-07:00I'll never forget the church grave yards in En...I'll never forget the church grave yards in England. It profoundly affected me to see 500 year old grave stones and think "now here were some people. 500 years ago. they lived their lives. just like me. probably had families, felt love and all the emotions that humans feel. forgotten as ancestors died out." It made me rethink what I thought was important. Another step in shedding the stupid stuff of my life and making as much of life as I can.

In the flowers. Was he old? He looks exactly like our cat Charlie except for the long tail. Charlie has a stump tail. We had a cat and a small dog that just up and disappeared. I have to make sure my imagination doesn't run away with me. Coyotes are all around here. Oscar wasn't taken by a coyote. Whew! You gave Oscar a good life. We love them so.<br /><br />I'm going to send you a link to my blog when I have the next chapter uploaded. You are going to be amazed at the difference between your forest retreat and our dry land ranch.<br /><br />On your list of equipment for cheese making: How much of everything and what sizes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612862199192033310.post-83092162075081885582015-05-31T06:15:01.371-07:002015-05-31T06:15:01.371-07:00Sorry for the loss.
