fresh cheese will be fine, the milk is boiled during the making.

i just wanna know, how the heck do they milk them water buffaloes? i mean, wouldn't
the milk sorta just mix in with all the water? unless it's really dense, it'd never even
flow down to the bucket. and anyways, if the water ain't clear, how do they know
it's a girl buffalo when it's milkin' time?
 
Around here it's illegal for farms to sell fresh product privately.....I do have a neighbour with the very best curds who will sell discreetly or barter. Yum, now I want cheese.
Anyway, regarding your WB.....wouldn't they be rinsed or dried off before milking?
On dairy the udders have to be washed. No thanks.
 
in the states, it's illegal in some places to sell privately for human consumption, but
they can sell if you say it's for pet food.

rinsed or dried? bwahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa! sorry, you made me
laugh. now my sternum hurts. bad girl!

now when you say 'dairy' i'm thinking of green fields and white fences, red barns with
a little steeple with a wind vane, and pretty black&white gurnseys munching on clover.

around here you'll have a village with a number of buffaloes, somebody milks some of
'em, puts the raw milk in a jerry can and leaves it at the front gate, then a kid on a
125cc wuyang (five goat) brand motor scooter picks up the can and delivers it
somewhere it can be dumped into a blue 55-gal barrel. i suppose the heat and the
shaking eventually cause the milk to curdle, and viola, ya gots cheese.

the word for ag-workers is 'nongmin' which translates as 'peasant.' the politically
correct students say we must translate as 'farmer,' but that's not correct. many
villages are pretty much as they were 3000 years ago, with the exception of
running water (maybe) and electric (maybe) in one or two rooms of every other
house. things are still done the way they were in great^42_grampa's day, way
back in the whatsit dynasty. try to tell 'em there's these little invisible things
that can make you sick so wash your hands............................so the washing and
rinsing and drying doesn't happen in this part of the country.
 
remember the documentaries you saw on village life in europe in the middle ages?
just take that and transplant it into the tropics.

anyway, i read on your profile you likes tractors. how's this for
high-speed?
 
cobbled? what? that's recent production, almost new.

but here's what he traded in.....
 
One of my older neighbours (in his 80s) will take his horse and buggy into the village, I love seeing that.
When there is fresh snow, he will use the horse and sleigh.
That way of life is gone and I wish I had been around for it.....quiet, relaxed, and simple.
 
i'm really looking forward to the summer, at least the part before monsoon season.
once i leave town, which takes all of ten minutes by bicycle, it's all rural countryside.
loads of dirt roads heading into the surrounding hills to countless villages. just
another month and we'll be at three months, sternum should be healed up enough to
handle the long rides on rough surface.
