Yogurt and other wonders

Yesterday I unwrapped the current yogurt supply. As you see, I make it with containers of hot water, one either side, wrapped in a cloth, inside two insulated bags, one inserted into the other. 


This keeps it steadily, evenly, warm, and I usually leave it for 24 hours, longer than the usual time, but I like the extra tang and consistency. It's still slightly warm when I open it.


You can see the consistency here, served with blueberries, sprinkle of pure cane sugar.

There's something very satisfying about making yogurt, using a few spoonfuls of the previous batch as a starter. I make it about weekly, until the texture gets thinner, then I get a container of Nancy's yogurt from Misfits,  to start a new cycle. This time around, it's been quite a few weeks. 
 
Yogurt is my go-to for snacks rather than ice cream, for sour cream substitute, in pastry dough, and to make labneh cream cheese.  All purpose food!

The time change is still with me, but I only had to fix a couple of clocks, unlike the groundskeepers here


 
I did get the knitting ministry gloves completed, still to be finished, and started a neck gaiter in Tunisian crochet.


And, in need of encouragement, found a bit in the daily poem

I keep up with the daily poetry readings from the 365 poems book, though a lot in February were stuck on romantic love, and a bit hackneyed.

Happy day, everyone, pick your poem, whatever form that takes for you, and go for it. Gently, if the time change is an issue for you.
