My Yogurt Recipe
On this here internet, you’ll find multiple ways to make yogurt. I have a hard time I find a recipe that is clear, concise, and can be found when I start looking for it. This is my attempt to solve that.
You need
- Milk. Justine prefers non-fat milk, and it works, so we use it. Any type of (Cows) milk would work.
- Some sort of starter. We use plain yogurt, but I’ve heard that you can buy yogurt starter. Make sure it’s got active cultures. Those are the bacteria that make your yogurt
- Thermometer, to measure the temperature
- 1/2 cup Dry Milk Powder. I add this since we have it (hence need to use it), and it adds thickness and protein. If we didn’t already have a Costco sized amount, I wouldn’t use it.
- Jars to store it in. Anything with a lid works
- Heating pad and towels
Why I am not buying a Kindle…
From Engadget
after downloading my copy of Freakonomics to my Kindle 1, my iPhone and iPod touch. I discovered I couldn’t download the book to my Kindle 2. I kept getting error after error that simply said this book can’t be loaded on this device. A little time with Google revealed I was not alone. It seems there’s a finite number of times each book can be downloaded, even if it’s downloaded to the same device. This number is set by the publisher and varies from book to book, but Amazon never mentions this, and there’s no indication of it anywhere during the purchase process. In short, it obviates the reason why one would buy an e-book in the first place. If I want to read Freakonomics at this point, I either have to find a device that I’m no longer using that has that content on it or buy a new copy
and then there’s the whole 1984 fiasco, where Amazon went onto peoples devices and deleted already paid for content.
I really wanted a Kindle too.
Pictures of Lillie Clara (Morris) Redd
I came across some old photos of my Grandmother. One of these is very embarrassing, so enjoy the laugh. These are scans from the pictures taken pre-1988, with no processing
A few house photos for those far away…
I don’t think most of you have seen our garden, or the house during a lovely summer day. There is also a photo of Justine’s car.
