It's Cheese Grommit!!!!

Well, after many less than fully satisfactory attempts I have finally made something that Annie believes tastes like Chevre.

It turns out that perhaps the recipe I had been using was not the ideal one to use for Chevre - despite being titled "chevre recipe" in our cheese making book. My suspicion is that the recipe right next to it for "soft goat cheese" is actually better - especially since we didn't have exactly the right ingredients perhaps to follow the chevre recipe. Our little packet of Chevre culture said it could be used for direct set, but it seems to not contain rennet. Our recipe seems to believe that direct set always has rennet in it.

Well - anwhoo, long story short. By tomorrow morning it should be ready to stop draining and be put in our refrigerator (and mouthes).

Perhaps I should not we took a taste this morning before it has finished draining and that is how we are aware of the taste. Perhaps the taste will be a bit stronger even by tomorrow. Annie wants a bit stronger flavor she says (though I think the addition of salt will take care of most of what seems different between what I just made and what we can buy at the Farmer's Market, which is tastey and comes recommended if we have any Carrollton or Atlanta readers).

Well I think i've written a bit haphazardly today, hopefully this makes some sense.
