my first cheese

It was goat's milk queso blanco, and it was about the size of my fist. It was clean and white. I made it Saturday afternoon, and I've been nibbling on it, each time thinking I was eating some magical food that I conjured out of thin air. It wasn't particularly delicious, but it was good enough, and it had a perfect texture. I finished it tonight in a tomato salad. Since this was the first try, I went for one that didn't need any cultures. Just milk and vinegar. The hardest part was heating th milk to 188 degrees.

Note to self to take photos of things like this.
