Milk Bath: 16 July 2006

We were fortunate enough to have a luxurious milk bath in the big bronze cauldron while we were up in the Alps. To be precise, it wasn’t milk actually. It was whey: the milky liquid that remains after the curds are taken out to make cheese. Apparently it is really healthy for you to bathe in. So we jumped at the opportunity to bathe in the warm silky liquid about an hour after all of the cheese had been made.
