Nearly 50 years! Wow! I make it in a quart jar, wrapped in a towel, put in a scavenged styrofoam ice chest overnight. Your little yogurt maker sounds just right for you. And so healthy.

The only way I can eat it is in a breakfast parfait with lots of fruit and granola and only with plain vanilla yogurt. Flavored yogurt or even vanilla just out of the container is persona non grata on my tongue.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-70397452931640856782021-02-15T04:58:46.186-05:002021-02-15T04:58:46.186-05:00I used to make batch yoghurts from our own cow'...I used to make batch yoghurts from our own cow's milk.

OMG, the amount of bread I made, for my brother and his three boys and my two girls.<br />Then the girls grew up and left home and I quite cooking, for the next forty years. It all came back to me, though.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-22865276279510087652021-02-14T20:27:17.660-05:002021-02-14T20:27:17.660-05:00Northsider, I heard the covid vaccine would do tha...Northsider, I heard the covid vaccine would do that to our brains. Jaycee, I can absolutely guarantee that you could make yogurt. I think, Bob, that a really good friend would send along a recipe. Mr. Shife, it is a good activity, and might well lead to you having more yogurt than you know what to do with. Margaret, my granola recipe calls for two tbls of honey and one of brown sugar. AC we are looking at 6-9. Some reports are calling for 12 inches. I guess we will find out.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-33378867904647313202021-02-14T20:09:14.804-05:002021-02-14T20:09:14.804-05:00I wish I liked yogurt better.

Making it might mean it would be healthier and not so full of sugar. I am still waiting on tax info from my financial advisor, then I can probably send my stuff to my preparer. I don't like this time of year much. We had our Snowmaggedon and it dropped about 8 inches at my house but feet farther south. It's melting now which is something good about snow in the PacNW. It doesn't stick around long. Stay warm and safe!

The old yogurt making made only 4 cups at a time. This makes 7 six ounce cups, which works out perfectly. I cap them, and have my yogurt for the week. <br /><br />Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-15211063138627804902021-02-14T16:34:09.749-05:002021-02-14T16:34:09.749-05:00We just got a big storm that dumped almost a foot ...We just got a big storm that dumped almost a foot of snow on us.
