Next step to yoghurt...

Last night, the 24 hours were up. The starter was done. Very stringy consistency as it was supposed to be. Smelt awesome :)

We are now at the stage where we made up two seperate batches and placed them back on top of the fridge. The rest of the starter is in the fridge...

Can't wait for it to thicken up and for it to be consumed :)

Cheers

Such a hard life...

But someone's got to live it! This afternoon, it was my turn!

I've moved my hammock to the paved area, close to my beautiful rosemary plant. Ahhh, the smell... Ahhh, the peace and quiet... Ahhh, the serenity...

This was my view for a couple of hours this afternoon... Amongst some reading, listening to podcasts and snoozing ;)

Matsoni starter on its way...

We got the full cream milk today and just now we started our starter. The process will take 24 hours, longer if the result is watery... Then we get to make the yoghurt!

Greek yoghurt is yum and can't wait to taste our own homemade yoghurt. I've made the yoghurt maker type yoghurt for many years but this will be so much more special :) No more packet buying... Another added bonus!

We have the jar sitting on top of the fridge for a little extra warmth. Also to seperate it completely from the milk kefir as the Matsoni culture is very vigorous and can be cross contaminated easily.

Oh, can't wait!!!

Cheers

Better late than not at all...

Yesterday was hubby's first day back at work since school holidays... End of last term, I won the school's Easter raffle and hubby brought it home with him yesterday.

Yummy :)

Cheers

So blessed...

After just over two weeks holidays, I went back to work and had some presents waiting for me...

Soooo blessed...

Cheers

It has finally arrived :) So glad...

Hubby is investigating what to do next :)

Reusing and sharing...

This paper was bought by one man... Then, it travelled to four other tables in the course of the day, including ours...

Then, the original owner took it back to take it home... It was ratty looking at the end but gee it was so lovely to see the paper passed around like that :) Topped of a fantastic day at Wet n Wild!

Cheers
