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 cheesemaking at home! http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/homemade-ricotta-recipe.html. 

Clockwise from top left: the milk heating, curds and whey, straining the curds, and, finally, le fromage on crackers.
