Home-made Cheese

Here in Finland there’s a type of cheese called kotijuusto (home cheese). They probably have something like this in English but I couldn’t find it so here’s :linkout:the recipe for cheese I used.

Ingredients
1 litre of whole-fat milk
1/2 litre of sour milk (piimää in Finnish)
2 eggs
Enough salt to taste.

Directions
Heat the milk to boiling point.
In a seperate mixing bowl mix the sour milk and eggs together.
Take the milk off the stove, add the sour milk mix to the milk slowly, stirring all the time. Blobs of stuff should appear in the mixture.
Put the saucepan back on the stove and heat it again until boiling point.
Take the saucepan off the stove (don’t stir again!).
Now leave the cheese to form. The mixture will seperate. It’s ready for the next stage when the top layer of liquid is transparent.
Put a cheese cloth (I use kitchen roll) in the bottom of a sieve and tip your cheese mix in there.
Leave it to drain off all the whey.
Mix salt in with your cheese. About one teaspoon is enough.
Put the cheese on a plate. The aim is to have light pressure on the cheese to squeeze out the liquid. I put my cheese on a plate, cover it with a few layers of kitchen roll, then put another plate on the top.
Put it in the fridge to mature overnight.

You should now have a crumbly cheese which is really nice on crispy bread or with raspberries. Yummmm.


Welcome, Welcome, Welcome…

… to the new URL! I’ve been planning the move for a while but I’m lazy and I hate packing. I decided a fresh install of Wordpress was in order as well as a good clearing out of things that have been laying around for a while and have gotten a little mildewy :S So here’s the new site, looks just like the old one doesn’t it? That’s cos it’s the same theme see ;) What is new though.. is that lots of cyber garbage that was just taking up space has now been relegated to the netherworld. My PHP scripts now have a nifty new FAQ system which will hopefully make it easier to keep track. The main layout is looking a lot less cluttered so hopefully you’ll be able to find what you were looking for without too much of a fuss. As well as all that there are less plugins, meaning it runs faster and I don’t have to keep old ones around just so it’s compatible with old posts yayyyy.

So please bear with me till I look through the old site to see if I can find a nugget in the sewer tank that is my rubbish.

I forgot to mention the biggest change.. The PHP scripts have been updated!! Bugs have been squashed and the Short URL plugin has a new snazzy Wordpress look.

The server’s doing something funky and Internet Explorer 7 doesn’t appear to like the site much and is displaying each post twice, one on top of the other :S Will have to wait till the server starts working again before I can fix it.. nae luck.

Well the problem was that the code was messy. So I cleaned it up and voila! It works perfectly in both browsers. It was about time this theme got cleaned out anyway, it’s been re-hashed so much and what with all the plugins going in-out-in-out it’s no wonder the html code got confused.

By this point I was already drunk and hiding under a tree while it rained. Lauri said they were good so I’ll have to take his word for it.
