More Harry Potter and other stuff too.

We have been making significant progress with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows today.  K & M also decided to have a ball.  It didn't actually happen, but they did spend a considerable amount of time make clothing for various toys for the event as well as dressing up themselves.  I'll add photos later if I'm allowed.  They have both also been building lego houses too.  M seemed a little bit under the weather again today, but she was well enough to get changed out of her pretty summer dress into more appropriate clothes to go into the garden to build a snowman, as it's been snowing her pretty much constantly all day and had been for much of the night by the look of it.

This afternoon, thanks to An ordinary life? blog K & I made cheese!  We followed the instructions in that link and our photos look remarkably similar to theirs.  I do have one of K checking the temperature of the milk, but have been told I'm not allowed to post it.
Milk heated to 200 degrees F, with added lemon juice.
Curds tied up in a (rather smaller!) muslin
The cheese!

I must admit, while successful in that it was indeed cheese, it really wasn't very tastey at all!  So any suggestions for improvements gratefully received!  I'm planning on trying again but with goat's milk for starters and am guessing a bit of salt would help too.
