Making cheese.  The easy way &#8211; scald milk and add a little acid &#8211; lemon juice or vinegar.  We got the idea from &#8216;The Toddlers Busy Book&#8217;, which I haven&#8217;t used much, but has a bunch of fun ideas.  There is a good description of cheese making <a href=\"http:\/\/schmidling.com\/making.htm\">here<\/a>, the bare bones section is basically what we did.  <\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons I wanted to do this is Rebecca will not eat cheese.  I think she wants to like it, but she really doesn&#8217;t.  She used to adore cottage cheese when she was really little, then no more.  Although I think she&#8217;s starting to come around, we made this cheese about a month ago, (yes, I am working through my photo backlog, what gave you that idea?  Good thing I &#8216;blog without apology&#8217;, or I&#8217;d be feeling guilty that I was &#8216;behind&#8217;.) and she ate an entire string cheese last week.  I was really surprised.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, she was very excited to make cheese, and then she couldn&#8217;t eat it, too bad!  She thought it was awful.  But that&#8217;s okay, dad thought it was great!  We used lemon juice, and it gave it a nice flavor.  We did squeeze it much too hard in the cheese cloth though, it came out very dry.  And we forgot to add the salt, oops.  I think we should try again.  It is cute though, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/DSC_7192-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Cheese\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1008\" srcset=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/DSC_7192-400x400.jpg 400w, http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/DSC_7192-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/DSC_7192.jpg 899w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[Recently all my comments have started being flagged as spam by Akismet, so if I don&#8217;t respond to your comment by email promptly, okay, it always takes me a couple days, but if it takes me a week, sorry, I forgot to check my spam comments again.
