Hi Dale,


 RH> Years ago we used to make our own yogurt, actually as recently as when
 RH> we lived in HI, in the early 2000s. Then a lot of the jar lids
 RH> couple of jars into muslin, tie it onto a cupboard door handle and set
 RH> a bowl underneath to let it drain for several hours, making my own
 RH> greek yogurt of yogurt "cream cheese".

 DS> Do the two of you still make your own keefir?

Not that often any more as we don't usually buy real milk any more.
We've been buying/using almond milk for a lot of things but if Ineed
real milk, I'll use dry, either instant or non instant, depending on
what I'm making. If I need more than a cup, however, I'll buy a quart
and use it up in other things.

We made another 4 jars (plus taster) of fig preserves this week. This
batch is a bit sweeter than the first; I weighed a bowl to tare it, then
dumped in the amount of sugar for the weight of the figs and bowl
combined. It's only about half a cup more sugar so not that much
sweeter.


I made an Okracoke fig cake (It uses fig preserves; I used a jar of
commercial ones we had on hand.) today for dessert for our small group
at church tomorrow. It called for half a cup of buttermilk in the cake,
another half cup in the glaze. I bought a quart (smallest size Wegman's
had) so I guess it's time for buttermilk biscuits, pancakes, etc. (G)
