    My son should be bringing home about 26-30 gallons of milk tomorrow. None of our neighbors want any and because it's not pasteurized, we're not allowed to donate it to a soup kitchen, so we're planning on making butter and cheese.

    We make our own butter and cheese most of the time, but never this much.

    To me, there's nothing better than a fresh tomato and homemade mozzarella on a slice of toast.

    Does anybody else here make their own?

    I made it twice from a kit and it was so fun! I did it at home first then we did it at homeschool group and it was perfect because the kids were able to be hands-on with the mozzarella "stretching". I can't remember how to do it but I do remember having rennet and citric acid to make it.
