French: Faisons du fromage!

After learning about cheese for several weeks, today the girls helped me make (and of course, eat) le fromage! We heated du lait de vache, added du vinaigre, watched it curdle, and then strained it through une étamine. It was simple and délicieux. Here is a link to the recipe in case anyone wants to try their hand at cheese making at home: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/homemade-ricotta-recipe.html. Merci to Ina Garten for this recipe!

Clockwise from top left: the milk boiling, the milk curdling, straining the milk, and, finally, eating the fruits of our labor on crackers.

Miam, miam! C'est bon, le fromage!
