INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a medium sized saucepan, stirring occasionally and making sure there is no burning or scalding on the bottom. Make sure you do not use UHT pasteurized milk. This milk won't curdle, meaning it cannot be used to make paneer.  For a slightly healthier but less rich paneer, you can use 2% milk. Do not use 1% or skim, however, as they both struggle to curdle correctly.  You do not want the milk to boil. If you have a thermometer, you want it around 190-200°F The acid in the lemon will actually break down the milk and cause it to curdle, which allows it to form solids. You can also use 1/4 cup of white vinegar, in place of lemon, though it will have a slightly different taste. This will let the acid do its work, and by the end of the 10 minutes the milk should look watery and yellow. If it doesn't, add another tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar and wait an extra 2-3 minutes. If it still doesn't curdle, you're likely using UHT pasteurized milk. Once the majority of water has drained out the bottom of the colander or strainer, wrap the cheesecloth around the curds and press down to squeeze out any extra water. A gently, slow, but firm squeeze should get out any last bits of whey. For added flavor, salt the paneer after you're done with a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Pull the cheese cloth out of the strainer and use it to mold the paneer inside it into a block. It should only take some gentle pressing and shaping to get a rough cube. A couple of large books, a mixing bowl filled with water, or a cast-iron pan should be heavy enough to press the cheese out. This will remove any last liquid and form the dense, delicious cheese cubes that will make your Palak Paneer really stand out on the table. Once it is done pressing, cut and serve. You can keep paneer in the refrigerator for up to four days after making it.

SUMMARY: Bring half a gallon of whole milk to a simmer over medium heat. When the milk is foamy and steamy, add 1/4 of lemon juice and remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice and let the mixture sit, undisturbed, for 10 minutes. Line a strainer with cheesecloth and place the curdles in, squeezing the excess liquid out. Gather the paneer curds in the cheese cloth and press into a rough square on a cutting board. Place a flat plate on your paneer cube and weight it down, pressing it for 20-60 minutes.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most people think of college as going to a public or private university. In reality, there are plenty more options, like community colleges – and they're much, much cheaper. You can find a local one to avoid the costs of moving, too. What's more, most, if not all, of your credits will transfer. You can go to a community college for one or two years on the cheap and then move over the a state or public university. If your grades are really good, you could even be up for more scholarships. Nowadays, having a bachelor's in something doesn't mean much. Plenty of people graduate from college and go back to food service. You don't have to go to a legitimate university to get an education and to get a good paycheck – vocational schools can make that happen, too. Check this out: 50% of college grads are unemployed or underemployed. Meanwhile, trade workers with skills are in huge demand. 40% of surveyed employers in a recent survey complained that they couldn't find enough. Going to a trade or vocational school may be a much, much better move. There's no reason you should have to devote all your time and money to a full-time education. Take a few classes at a time if that's all you can afford – and that way you can keep working, too. Every school offers different levels of involvement. You could go part-time or you could just take one class. It's up to you. Look into taking classes taught by part-time teachers. Part-time teachers are paid less and therefore taking their classes usually costs less, too. While many online schools are a joke, there are a growing number that are not. They're cheaper and save you the cost of transport. What's more, you can do them on your own time, so you can still work if need be. They're also a good transition into a full-time college career down the line as many credits will transfer. If you are looking to transfer later, look into the policy. Be sure you're attending an accredited, respected online institution before assuming. Take a look at the colleges you want to attend, too, and check if your credits would transfer. A growing trend in the realm of technology and education is the MOOC -- a massive open online course. Some are available for credit or certificate and some aren't, but they're springing up all over the place. It's a course that's videotaped or recorded at a university and 100% of it is put up online. It's essentially attending a whole bunch of different online universities.  Look at Harvard and MIT's websites, for example. You can peruse their courses and launch into whatever interests you. There are also websites like Coursera that coordinate with dozens of schools to provide varied, coordinated curricula. You can take their classes for free with or without a certificate at the end. " This type of program is where you spend one semester studying full-time and the next working full-time. It's not based on financial aid and only offered at certain institutions; if it's offered at one you're looking at, it's worth a shot. On average, students going this route earn as much as $7,000 per school year. This also gets you work experience in your field from the get go. You're making money and building your resume at the same time. In addition to these perks, many colleges take the work experience as school credit. It may not take you that much longer to graduate if your job is in line with your studies. Find a local university or community college and look up their auditing policies. Some schools will let anyone interested audit large classes, while other schools allow only full-time students to audit. Find a school that will let you audit, consulting the registrar or other officials where necessary.  Ask the professor for permission to audit the class. Email the professor well before the first class meeting and explain your interest, background, and educational status. Tell the professor why you want to audit the class, and politely ask permission. If they say no, respect their wishes and don't take it personally -- some professors are concerned about the level of involvement of all of their students, and having people audit the class can interrupt that. Be engaged in the class in order to get as much as possible out of it. Treat it as you would if you took it for credit. Attend every class session and complete all homework assignments, even if you don't turn them in. Engage with the material, and discuss it with the professor outside of class if possible. This will help you learn the material and get the most out of your college experience.

SUMMARY:
Look at community colleges. Consider vocational schools. Consider going part-time. Go the online route. Look into MOOCs. Try a "cooperative education program. Audit classes.
