Boozing: berries into liqueur, elderberries into wine.

Wow! All the vegies. You sure have lots of good stuff going there.

And the photo looks like from one of those old movies - my time!

I am wondering how you made your cheese - can you post your process? I've always wanted to give cheese-making a shot!

Knittingbouvier,

We are making our cheese into yogurt and then, if we feel like, straining the yogurt in cloth over the sink until it's basically cream cheese. I'll write more about it later.
