MY cats' Mommy is better than YOUR cats' Mommy because THEIR Mommy makes them homemade cottage cheese with no preservatives and artificial ickies in it.

So you changed their kitty food too?
Hmmm...I must not have done it right or maybe I squeezed too much of the whey out, because what I ended up with was more like cheese cheese instead of cottage cheese.
So I said, hey! :lightbulb: And squeezed even more whey out of it, then salted it and added some fresh basil. Then I kneaded it until it was smooth and somewhat stringy, very similar to mozzarella. And now I'm eating it on some garlic butter pizza crust I made the other day.

Homemade cottage cheese will be drier than the stuff in the tub from Shoppers. I remember my uncle getting it out and pouring buttermilk on it to moisten it up.
This was pretty dry. But I'm not unhappy with the result - it made a tasty dinner.

is it less salty than store bought? I want to eat cottage cheese because it is healthy..but the saltiness is too overwhelming for me..
It's just milk and vinegar to curdle it. You can make it as salty or not as you like. YUM!

ooh neat. i'll hafta try it. great idea!
And I just made butter, too. It's a lot easier using the food processor than shaking it in a jar.
What other grandma stuff should I learn to make?

We used a blender and it works too.
When I lived on a dairy we used to have the coolers on the 300 gallon milk tanks conk out and a tank would sour. Most of the time you would call the dairy association and they would send a truck that picked it up for the butter plant. Sometimes we would keep it and make butter. We used an old tub type washing machine my granddad modified. He made paddles for the agitator and we would churn 20 gallons at a time. It sucked

COOKIES!!!! Lots and lots of cookies!!! Cake would be okay too! And you can pass all your "test" cookies and cakes on to your fellow forumites for quality control testing!!! I would be more than willing to help you out!
BTW, did you know if you took a Duncan Hines Pineapple Cake Mix (blasphemy, I know) and added a banana or two, used pineapple juice in place of the water, and added some Rum extract (or Captain Morgan - if no children would be partaking), it is really, really good? Especially in cupcake form!! Of course, I've discovered that some people like white whipped icing with coconut on top too.
You asked!!!!!
