baba's goat cheese recipe - babin recept za kozji sir

my grandma tells me step by step how to make goat cheese. i decide not to tell her im filming and i just pretend im listening. i guess it is called chevre in america from the french word.

i translated it and put subtitles, but i suck at timing the subtitles. here is the transcript

What can I do now? Now I can't do anything.
I can't walk anymore...

Me -- how would I go about making that...

How? Easily. This is how you do it, don't worry, the young girls wont know how to do this. You wouldn't eat what your wife would make you.
First, you need good hygiene. Do you know what clean is? Everything would be as clean as the sun. The towels and that.. you never touched anything with your hands.

Every liter of milk, a spoonful of vinegar, vinegar.... That one, you know, that hunter's vinegar? You know what vinegar is?

Me -- I know what vinegar is...

Good. Vinegar. Every... but that's special vinegar, that's the one that hunter's have. you buy it in the store. So, with every liter (of milk) : a spoonful (of vinegar). so you cook the milk by itself. Then once it boils you remove the milk from the burner. Turn the burner off. Then you pour the vinegar into the milk and it starts to harden (curdle) right away. You mix it and it quickly turns to.. to cheese. It gets hard
Then you pour it into a clean cloth which has been placed in a mould. (Mould is just a cylindrical piece of metal that is able to be tightened or something to keep a round shape. Top and bottom are open for weights to lay on it.) Then you tighten the cheese in the mould, and put a heavy weight on it like a really heavy rock to squeeze every last drop of water out. Then fifteen minutes later you take the cheese out of the mould and shape it. Make it look nice. Make sure it has no holes in it.

After you shape it, you put it back in the mould. Then like this: on top of a piece of wood put to mould with the cheese inside of a cloth, then another piece of wood on top of the cheese then a really heavy rock on top. Heavier than before since you took it out of the mould once and let it drain every every last drop of liquid. You could let it age or eat it right away. it couldn't be better. Have you tried it?

Me -- that's my favorite cheese

Everyone who's tried it.... You know... my daughter-in-law...
But last year I didn't make any. This year I didn't make it. Julija love eating it, my dear child.
I never made it for myself, only to make it for my kids, so that my children love it. Zvone loved it, he'd say, "grandma when?" but it'll never be again... that torments me, torments me... I cant forget that I made all of it... that I will never be able to make anything anymore. So it haunts me.. but what can I do?


Me -- lets take a picture...

Hope Grandma is still well. Okay, just wanted to tell you that the name of the song playing in the background is "Time To Say Goodbye". I heard it sung for the first time today, and I instantly remembered it being in this video. I love it. Hope school is almost over and you can get on with life. Good wishes.
