If you'd like to be cheesed out, read on. The wooden board in the centre of the pic: from left to right: mature manchego, port salut, brie (all bought cheeses). Open jar in front: feta (home-made). Wooden board to the right, from left to right: Very Immature Manchego (home-made) and Chilean Artisan cheese (bought), the name of which I've forgotten. Crackers, various salt jars, various water bottles, and computers also abound.
Manchego in the making: the curd is just starting to separate from the whey.
Cheesemaking, ghetto style: the cheese is beneath the pot of whey to press some more whey out.
The cheese after the initial pressing of approximately six pounds of weight.

Cheesye Fondue
Artisan bread, celery sticks, cheese, good company... What more can one ask for?
"Now, now, cheese. You will comply!"
Stirring the cauldron...
Cheese fondue evidently wasn't enough, so we added chocolate fondue to the menu, whichvoxangelus very skillfully prepared.
Chocolate-covered grape, strawberry, pretzel, apple, angel cake, pineapple, marshmallows, and short-bread.
Vox and SW69 chilling out on the sofa while...
... PJ had passed out from all the baking duties.
Then, there was a near-tearful good-bye to SW69 and Vox, and I won't think about tomorrow for now.
