this was produced in my home science lab yesterday.

it's ricotta!!

and alls it took was some milk and a lemon

and way more patience than my comfort zone could handle.

if ever you're looking for some good old-fashioned g-rated excitement, try pouring lemon juice into milk that has heated to 180 degrees and then watch the curds and whey separate.

it is so cool i don't know why anyone would need cable television when they could watch curds and whey separate.

today i mixed the ricotta with an egg and some herbies and young broccoli leaves and encased it in whole wheat pasta dough to make humungo ravioli friends. i then introduced them to some tomato friends. and together they made the best dinner ever.

take that, teensy kitchen!

yeh!!!
