You're welcome. I've had a few people tell me that I'm "the expert" and that I shouldn't include my mistakes. I do want to set an expectation that the food is going to turn out, but I think that the mistakes along the way are what makes the experience human. Good luck with the small scale homesteading. As this show gets bigger, that's my plan as well (personally...not for the show)

We are all learning. Being poor allows us to see and really appreciate things that those with a lot of money may not see or experience. I am grateful for those times as it makes me stretch/ grow in so many ways! Giving us life’s experiences that we can share with others. As you know, many are or will be in that place in the future. Share with one another the things you have learned through these trials and tribulations so, the will see they are not alone and how you have developed ways to make it. What a wonderful feeling it is to help one another! What a concept eh? We are so rich in many ways! God Bless you🙏🏼🙏🏼

For some reason, your videos give off a "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood" vibe. I really appreciate the suggestions and explanations for how to use milk that would otherwise go to waste. God bless you.👍

If you hang that ricotta in the cloth you will have a type of ricotta called impastata cheese. I use it for cannolis. All it is is ricotta cheese that has essentially had more moisture pulled out 🤌😁 AWESOME VIDEO. I really like how you keep the humanity within the video instead of not miraculously having mistakes 😂

You mentioned utilizing the rest of the milk/ whey when making bread. I just want to make sure that after heating 2 times ( one for farmers cheese and one for ricotta) that the milk will still be able to be used for bread. You do an excellent job of describing and working in what seems a very small kitchen, showing us all it is possible to do so. Great job!

The recipe I make is my husband’s favorite cheesecake, & I use orange zest & a few other baking ingredients & bake…so easy & delicious.

I had that cheese years ago in India of all places, a place called hampi. It was from goats milk, I remember she had all the bags hanging in the back of her hut draining. She used to make lovely cheese salad baguettes from the cheese. It tasted a bit sour but really fresh. She also made cheese and spinach pastrys called bourekas from the ricotta. Now I understand why she made those 2 things. She was very busy and was sold out early every day. Thanks for that. A house plant would go nice with art.

Idea for ricotta cheese: once tried South Beach diet. One of their recipes for a dessert was to add some sugar free fruit flavor jello to ricotta cheese. Wasn’t bad. In fact hubs thought it was yogurt.

just watched this as the second part after your farmers cheese video. God bless you mate. this is the kind if thing that will be an absolute godsend in the near future considering the direction the economy is taking. You have likely made several families futures brighter with this. I have had farmers cheese before (but never homemade ricotta) and it's marvelous. better than store bought cream cheese IMO. Than you again.

I don't know what I'm missing. I did farmer's cheese and it came out awesome. Left the whey in fridge over night and tried to make ricotta and all I got was hot whey. At 190F there were no curds just hot whey.

I call shenanigans on this video using the same acid whey from the first video! I have just made more farmer's cheese with junket tablets (all I could get at a moment's notice) and it worked, this whey should be fine to make ricotta.. am about to try.

Just made farmer’s cheese it came very good, tomorrow I will make ricotta, thanks for good recipe.

Hey, thanks!

My leftover whey after making your Farmer's Cheese yesterday was already nearly clear. I've been heating the whey for an hour now, there's steam coming off it, so I guess it's already pretty hot for that to happen?! (I only have a meat thermometer unfort!) No sign of any more curds in the whey. Literally just whey with the odd speck of curd. Am I now on a fool's errand?!

The tone and cadence, along with the facial hair, this guy makes me think of a food version of Jack Black.

Thanks for sharing, very important message too!! never waste!! And ‘best before’ dates are not ‘goes bad and is dangerous after’ dates! One thing though, it’s not free food. The heating costs money and the time invested is capital too! But great stuff 👍🏼
