I was going to order some to try and it was $18 for 16oz but when I went to check out the shipping was $30 so I passed

Ouch! I am fortunate to have it locally at the grocer. The shipping is certainly what kills ya. But, if you do find it in a store somewhere you don't need a lot of it. A small amount goes very far.
 
I just got the chees kit, wasnt really what I was expecting but I didd'nt really know what to expect :)

My friend has really been into cheesemaking for a number of years now. He took a workshop from the woman who runs this site and I am pretty sure the books that come with the basic kits is hers.

He loves it. He just sent me an email that he "waxed his cheese" this weekend.

I laughed too. . .

Hey, Alice waxed the cheese last week, too. It was great. I kept on putting my hand in to help and she kept swatting me away. I guess she wanted to complete the job. With or without my assistance, she ended up waxing the cheese like it was the movies. A VERY satisfying experience, and should be great to nibble on later.
