I made cheese! (Redux)

 Well, about 1 1/2 months after successful Feta 2.0, I took a shot at 30-minute mozzarella.   Bh took a shot but the brand of milk was probably over-pasteurized, and it turned out more like ricotta.  Tasty, but not the goal.  So Bh bought a different brand of milk.  This wasn't quite 'smooth and shiny' as the recipe suggested, but it had a lot more 'pull' and 'stretch' than before.  I rolled it into balls, chilled them in ice-water, and put them drained into the fridge for salads and test-melting later on.  But the warm cheese was pretty good!

I declare Mozzarella 1.5 a deeply qualified success.
