Getting to stay home from work is nice, but sometimes being cooped up in the house all day with nothing to do can get dull. Last time this happened, I decided the timing was perfect to try something I'd always wanted to do: make my own cheese. So, I picked up this mozzarella making kit from my local cheese shop. It came with everything I needed, only thing I had to get was a gallon of milk.
First step was to heat the milk and stir in a mixture of the ingredients, including some acid and rennet. I heated the mixture, and watched as the curds started to separate from the whey.

| Probably the least glamorous part. |
Once the curds were ready, I removed them from the whey and drained them. Pressing out all the extra water.
 |
| Gettin' all curdy. |
Next, I formed the cheese by hand, careful not to over handle it, otherwise it ends up rubbery.
 |
| You better work, b**** |
Then I cool it down in an ice bath and wrap it up to enjoy later when I slice it up and combo it with some carbs for some blizzard night pizza!
 |
| My balls. |
