I must say I never even thought of " making cheese". Both sets of my grandparents are from Poland and my husbands mom and dad were from Sicily...very rural...and none ever made their own cheese...yes to breads, pasta, sausage, pizza, canning...and I have dabbled in all of that. I love most cheeses, but I really think if I "made" it, I may lose my taste for it. I get rid of milk even before the due date...don't like the smell of milk in a plastic bottle...buy only dairy fresh glass bottled....but for those who are doing or will try...have fun.
