Last evening, Avery fell off of a very tall metal slide and got banged up. So today we chilled around the house, keeping an eye on her injuries. The pictures below are photos of her at about 4 o'clock when the swelling went down quite a bit. Last night, her eye was almost swollen shut. I just couldn't make myself take pictures of it that bad - I already feel guilty as it is. I am just thankful that my baby is okay.
This evening, we went to Sarah and Ken's house to make mozarella cheese! Ken sang to Avery on the porch, while Sarah and I made cheese and played Spanish Scrabble. *She totally kicked my butt. Here's how:
I went first and played "Dale" pronounced "DAH lay" meaning "Hit it!" like a pinata. for minimal points.
Her first play was "Exitosos" meaning "successful" as a plural adjective for 95 points!!!
Wowza. I have only every played Spanish Scrabble with her twice and she kicked my butt both times. Thanks for the challenge, Sarah!
So, to make cheese, you need some special stuff. I can't remember exactly, but something that sound like "reslin." I am probably saying that wrong. Also, whole milk (pasturized but not ultra pasturized), a bit of water, cheese salt, and I guess that's it.
Once the ingredients are added and the temp. is reached, it sits for a few minutes to curdle. Then you strain it into cheese cloth.
Sarah took a way cool picture of me squeezing the cheese to drain out the whey, but I forgot to save it. Boo. But after that, we heated it in the microwave and kneaded it. Then we had cheese! It is in my refrigerator now. I plan to eat it tomorrow with some tomatoes and Ritz crackers. (Thanks again Sarah for the awesome cheese making experience!)
