Well, today I made whey and cream cheese. You heard right. Whey. and. cream. cheese.
Who knew you could make that? Turns out, you can make those two things by taking yogurt, plopping it into a cheesecloth lined strainer over a bowl, and letting it sit on your counter for most of the day. The whey drips out of the yogurt into the bowl and the cream cheese is left in the cheesecloth.
What's whey? Good question. It's what Little Miss Muffet ate with her curds. Also, you can make funky lacto-fermented stuff to eat with it. More on that when I get around to it....
For now, though, I'm just gonna enjoy some cream cheese on a bagel!

Wheeeyy cool! (Sorry.)
I did that once, many many years ago. It's pretty good! I like it much better than "real" cream cheese. I'll have to try it again -- the kids will probably get a kick out of it.
