The Monkey and his classmates travelled to Dacula last Friday to spend a day at Rancho Alegre. This is a working farm and the kids enjoyed brushing “Chili Pepper” one of the horses, milking a goat, petting the bunnies and donkeys, learning about chickens and composting, they even attended a goat cheese making class! After a tractor driven hayride around the ranch we settled into the covered pavilion for lunch and some playtime. It was a wonderful day!

Your cheese horse is gorgeous!!! How did you do that?
Hey Lily, thanks! I drew a horse on white parchment and then used a knife to cut out the shape on a piece of cheese. If you look at this post: http://www.cookingformonkeys.com/2009/09/rainy-day-tutorial.html it gives an example.
wow, well done for the horse cheese.
Rachel (Olive's mom) has been making some great cheese. She did a queso blanco that was outstanding. Need to document her process and post.
