This is the third weekend that we've planned an outside work weekend, and it is again raining. We are hosting a family campout (reunion of sorts) next weekend and there are a dozen or so projects we want to get done, but alas it is raining on us again! Sigh... but as a farmer and a gardener, we are both very happy for what this rain will bring :)

Also, the homemade creamer is amazing!!! I used vanilla the first time, and even had others drink it, and they agreed it is yummy! I found some hazelnut extract (artifical) and am excited to make some hazelnut creamer once I run out of the vanilla stuff!!!

This weekend I am attempting to make home made yogurt in my crock pot. WHAT!?! you may be thinking, but so far its been super easy. I have put 2 L of homo milk in my crock pot for 2.5 hours on low. Then unplug and leave for 3 more hours, with lid on. Then mix in 1/2 C regular plain yogurt- some suggest adding honey and vanilla at this point too. Wrap entire crock pot in towels and leave overnight (some people suggest putting the entire thing in your oven overnight). Then in the morning you should have yogurt! We will see. Other sites I looked at before I stepped into this venture were www.passionatehomemaking.com , and www.nourishingdays.com.

  1. I've just started making homemade yogurt here in Ghana and it is turning out awesome! Since it is so hot here, I just put the jar in the sun for the whole day and voila! Delicious, inexpensive yogurt! I hadn't thought to add vanilla or honey, so I think I'll try that next. Let me know how yours turns out...

  2. My yougurt was runny but delicious! I've made it again, and it was thicker this time. Each time will be different I'm sure- but it is easy and rewarding.
