RH> Caveat here--make sure your commercial yogurt has active yogurt
RH> cultures (bacteria) in it. If it doesn't, then your yogurt won't "yog".

 BC> Thanks for that tip.  I normally use Nancy's yogurt (made in
 BC> Springfield, OR) as my starter.  It is cheap and good and has an

OK, the recipe you uploaded didn't say anything about using a yogurt
with active cultures so I thought I'd suggest it as a caveat so others,
using the recipe would know what kind of yogurt to use.


 BC> I recently stumbled on a recipe for cottage cheese.  It looked like a

I thought about it when I was younger and doing a lot of that kind of
stuff--baking all our bread (and other baked goods), making yogurt,
"churning" butter, doing a lot of canning and freezing & so on. As I've
gotten older I've dropped a lot of it--still making bread on a sort of
irregular basis, making jams and preserves as needed (will do blueberry
and peach next summer), etc. When I was younger we didn't have a
computer to take up some of my time, now I'm on it maybe about 3 hours a
day. (G)
