IK, so absolutely NO rhyming. in my imposed lack of activity, I have found that SenbaZuru can keep me still for a little while. SenbaZuru is folding 1000 paper cranes. a very old Japanese tradition. So I have been doing that to keep my hands busy when the rest of my can't do much.
But, I did manage to do something marvelous in the last couple of days. for the first time, ever, I made my own Yogurt. and it was AMAZING! Nope, I'll not be buying that stuff, anymore. This was very easily made by heating milk to 185, cooling to 110 then, in 4 quart canning jars, held at 110 for 24 hours, then hung in a strainer to remove whey and thicken the finishe4d product.
it is OH SO good! Rich and creamy like the best cream cheese but with flavor, a wonderful sour tang from the fermentation. a wonderful sour that made me think of lemon flavor without the citrus notes. I had some with some strawberries at lunch. tomorrow, I'm going to do a little Dill weed and Lemon and some cucumber grated and made cucumber sandwiches. next thing is to use this to make cheesecake.
of course, I have the whey which can be made into ricotta and then, ricotta pie!!
