Happy Spring everyone....Spring has sprung here in DC. I have the allergies to prove it. The weather has been great in between a few rain showers. This weekend was fantastic. I got a new cookbook at the library and found a surprising recipe that I HAD to try out. It was for yogurt. Yep folks that's right yogurt. Now this was a mystery to me. I had no clue what was in yogurt or how it was made. But being married to a mediterranean we spend a lot of money on the (to me) disgusting curdled milk. So I thought why not give it a go. If I can make a big batch of yogurt for Adam at a low price why not. So I began...... 1/2 gallon of milk and 1/2 cup of store bought yogurt plus a few other ingredients. Total time to make over 12 hours!! Yes you read that right 12 HOURS!!!! Not a lot of work except for every 4 hours adding heat or taking it off heat or draining. So this morning I wake up hoping for a large batch of yogurt that my husband can swoon over and what did I get.....
less than 1 cup of disgusting milk that now looks like cottage cheese/cream cheese yogurt. Why did I ever think that would work? Oh well lesson learned... Pay the money and save the time. But to make up for it I made an awesome Garlic and Onion Roast for dinner tonight and it was DEEEElicious!!
Other stats for this weekend... One hike for Emily and Adam, Three trips to 7-eleven to return a redbox, and Four wonderful Hallmark movies.

That's pretty funny you had use yogurt to make yogurt:)
I've got an easy recipe for yogurt and all you use is a glass qt. nar and a heating pad--and it just takes over night. Easy! Or you can put it in a dehydrater.
Oops! That's jar not "nar". LOL
My mom used to make yogurt and put it in mason jars and I made the mistake of taking a big spoonful of mayo instead, disgusting! I love the picture of Emily, so cute.
haha... I laughed as well that I had to put Yogurt in with yogurt. Has to do with the live active cultures...
Oh Sharon def pass that recipe along would like to try out a proven recipe!!
