I think these figures are a lil off. I track on two different sites, and the alli site says yesterday's calories are more like 1560. Go fig. I usually split the difference, but I've been posting here w/Spark #s so I'll continue. But the bottom line figure is interesting. I was also, strangely, not hungry despite the #. Lunch was fabulous and filling, and only 140 calories and 5 g. of fat, and both sites agree on that.

*** The cottage cheese is something I saw on Alton Brown and jiggered because I didn't like the fact that he adds salt and cream to his. Seems to screw with the very point (to my mind) of making homemade cottage cheese.

Recipe:
Ingredients
1 Gallon of Skim Milk
3/4 c. Vinegar

Directions
Pour milk into a large saucepan and place over medium heat. Heat to 120 degrees F. Remove from the heat and gently pour in the vinegar. Stir slowly for 1 to 2 minutes. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature for half an hour.

Pour the mixture into a colander lined with a tea towel or cheese cloth and let it sit and drain for 5 minutes. Gather up the edges of the cloth and rinse under cold water for 3 to 5 minutes or until the curd is completely cooled, squeezing and moving the mixture the whole time.

Once cooled, squeeze as dry as possible and transfer to a sealable container and place in the refrigerator.
Serving size is 2 c. (8 oz.)

Number of Servings: 16

-- I made only a quart of milk's worth so I only used 1/4 c. of what ended up being apple cider vinegar. The cheese came out somewhat rubbery but I believe that had a lot to do with heating it over 120 degrees F. I noticed also that the yield is smaller than expected so I suspect that a serving is more like 1 c. if you want to get 16 servings out of the full recipe.

The cheese was plain, but a good vehicle for other flavors, much like tofu can be. Next time, I'll add garlic or maybe chipotle pepper powder or lemon juice.

I need to rethink my Sunday evening meals. It always seems like far too much pizza and salt, and I can end up with a weigh-in the following morning that I'm less than happy with, such as I had this morning. I most likely need to make my Sunday lunch my big meal.
