I can't imagine it was all that enjoyable to anyone. It was a chore.
There's a reason they make and sell "bag balm". Chapped sore hands.
Chapped udders, too. No thanks!

You're the one in dire need of help, Garish... you've been living

local dairy means to me a little place where you pull up and they are
making cheese in a side room. They've got the little glass bottles of
cream as thick as mayonnaise. The Mom of this operation gets out a
knife about 2 feet long and cut the chunk you want from whichever kind
of cheese wheel you want. Then, if it is a hard cheese she dips in
into the pot of melted wax before she wraps it in butcher paper.
What we have here is a huge dairy plant that bottles for different
brands, also does juices, probably gets the cottage cheese in from a
distributor already packaged. I haven't seen the Mom and Pop
operation for years. They've all been bought up by the big guys.

Sheldon would like to think everyone still has one of those operations
nearby (if they ever did). Nice dream.

We've got a medium-sized dairy fairly close. No cheese, but their
ice cream is excellent (although I haven't had it in quite some time):

<http://www.guernseyfarmsdairy.com/>

My grocery store carries their milk products. I occasionally buy a pint
of buttermilk for salad dressings.

I bet they don't sell a single drop of guernsey (or any channel
islands breed). They should change the name to holstein farms or
something

It does seem odd for a dairy flogging ice cream to be calling itself
Guernsey Farms when they have only Holstein cows. Guernsey cow milk has
about 30% more butterfat than Holstein milk. Holsteins produce a lot
more milk than other breeds, but have the lowest butterfat.

They adjust mulk to a standard fat level, like 4%, 2%, etc.

Nobody keeps guernsey or jersey cows anymore. They give VERY rich
milk, but not nearly as much as holsteins or similar breeds ...
about 10 gal per day for these popeye sized wimmen cows.

I've never found a source for milk from these channel island cattle
breeds, but perhaps it is sold in brooklyn street corner dairies,
near Popeye's place.

When younger, I always wanted to own a Jersey cow. The Jersey bulls
are mean as hell, but yoose don't need them for milk, except for a
yearly humping of yoose heifer. The cows are fairly gentle.

My grandparents always kept a Jersey cow but that aside, have you seen the
miniature Jerseys?? There are also miniature Jersey bulls but they are
extremely mean/ill tempered and put full size bulls to shame with their
bad attitude.

Seven hundred pounds maximum weight and about 42 inches in height at the
hip for the milk cows.

I also like full fat. I prefer large curd but it's hard to find so
often end up with small.

I normally eat it plain, but sometims I add a little Cholula hot sauce.

Thats ok. The world would be boring if we all liked the same things.

BTW, it lasts a long time in the fridge and you can cook with it if you
want to try that. Cottage Cheese is a common replacement for Ricotta.

I sometimes make a mock lasagna that can be all vegetarian (with
cheese, just no meat added).

Lots of variation but here is the basic format:

3 cups cooked elbow pasta, drained
1.5 cups tomato sauce with lots of seasoning
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup 'other cheese' such as is handy

Optional: 1 cup cut up bell pepper, onion, summer squash (mix and match)

Prepare and drain pasta. Spread 1 cup at the bottom of lightly greased
cassarole and add 1/3 of the seasoned red tomato sauce. Add 1/3 cup of
cottage cheese then 1/3 cup of the optional additions. Repeat to 3
layers and top with 'other cheese'. Bake uncovered 30minutes at 375F.

Makes a little over 4 1cup servings.

Yep. He was probably typing with one hand and whacking off with the
