Well, I'm not sure that you necessarily get to take cheese that you made 
that day home with you.  The impression I get is that you are making cheese 
she will later be selling?  Although she does sell some soft cheeses, like 
chevre.  I was amused to see that one of the testimonials on the webpage is 
from Shirley Roper, who you might remember as Zenobia.  I might be 
interested in doing this at some point, but as Ainar pointed out to me 
earlier today, I'd much rather spend $40 learning to make sushi from the 
owner of Fuji, which you can do at the Stock Pot.  If you have not checked 
their classes out, you should do so.  Some of them look quite interesting.

Ok - the geeky foody will shut up now.
