Will Work for Food


Today's project...yogurt! 
Heated a quart of whole milk
two tablespoons of powdered milk
and about a quarter cup of half and half to 180 degrees,
stirring constantly.
Heating kills bacteria we don't want.


Then put the heated milk in a sink of water
to cool it down to a temp
that would not kill the bacteria we want to grow.


Added a package of store bought
unflavored, "all natural yogurt" from the grocery store
for our culture.
Used Greek yogurt, which is a bit of an experiment.
The bacteria list looked good,
and it is just hard to find a small container
of unflavored, all natural yogurt.


Put it in little jars
put the jars in the yogurt machine
and set it for fifteen hours. 
When I get up in the morning,
I'll take them out, put on their wee lids
and pop them in the fridge.


I plan to add a touch of honey
some frozen or canned fruit
and some granola for eating.
Yum.  I hope.
