Cheese

In other news, I think I've finally cracked mozzarella, having yesterday made a batch (with raw milk) that looked, tasted and melted like the stuff from the shops. Well, except for the fact that I forgot the salt.

I'm blaming that on the fact that I'm using elements of three different recipes to do it: I'm going to have, I think, one more go with shop milk and then possible one with raw before I (hopefully) declare it done and write out my own set of instructions. Including when to put the salt in....

Magrat laid a terribly blue egg today, which I suspect is a symptom of her going off lay. Esme is looking much happier, although she's still hiccuping a bit: today, they ate all of their (half ration of) pellets, and all of their (full ration of much tastier) corn, which they followed me into the yard to get, and chased a bunny (which is better than Jo managed when I sent her out after it: I think she assumed it must be a squirrel, because she ran straight to the tree as the rabbit scarpered, then looked around in confusion when she couldn't see anything to chase.
