You can actually store more hardy leafy greens (like kale, chard, mustard greens) and celery out of the fridge in a glass of clean water. You have to use it in the next 2-3 days, but until then, you have a pretty bouquet to remind you to eat your greens :)

I just made paneer cheese last night:

3-4 T lemon juice per quart of whole milk (yield: about one ounce of cheese per cup of milk, so use 2 quarts milk to make 8 oz. and use up about 4 of the lemons)

- strain the lemon juice
- bring the milk to a boil in a heavy pot, stirring constantly to avoid scorching
- turn heat off or to lowest possible setting, drizzle in lemon juice and stir very gently in one direction for about one minute (you should see the yellow whey separate; if not, add more strained lemon juice)
- let the curds rest and come together about 10 min
- pour into cheesecloth, rinse lemony flavor out of curds
- press for a couple of hours under something heavy

delicious fried in ghee and served with veggies. fits a low carb diet
