actually not. Nancy2 was providing a way for Julie to use cottage
cheese and proffered the idea of dill bread. Steadily throughout the
thread Julie indicated that for various reasons that she was not
interested in the dill bread.

The dill bread was discussed prior and I said that I had made it in the
past.

Dave, just do a simple experiment. You will find out it works. My dad didn't believe it,
either, because I couldn't explain the science, but he tried it and found it works.

I wouldn't bother making my own ricotta. I rarely need ricotta (or
cottage cheese) so I just buy a small amount as needed.

Yes, but she said ricotta wasn't available.

I likely wouldn't make my own cottage cheese either, especially with
my living in dairy country, but still I'd be interested in how someome
who says it's easy makes it... and because it's not all about me... a
discussion about make cheese, unlike most of the dreck posted here,
is very appropriate for a food group.

I actually can't remember the last time I bought cottage cheese,
however a few times a year I buy Farmer's Cheese and Pot Cheese.
Farmer's cheese is like a very dry version of cottage cheese, very
good in sandwhiches in lieu of cream cheese as it won't run out like
cottage cheese. Pot cheese is a very large curd version of cottage
cheese that I like for its tangy flavor and prefer it for lasasgna...
I find ricotta too sweet... I think ricotta is best suited for
pastries like cannoli. All these various types of cheese are readily
available at stores near where I live.

My mom said her mom made cottage cheese when she was growing up. She just
put sour milk on the back of the stove in a hot pan over a very low heat for
a very long time. She said it wasn't good and wasn't like what we get in the
stores today.

Nope.
