Sometimes it's the mistakes...

So I have been making yogurt in the Crockpot for about 6 months now. I have about a 90% success rate with it, but due to old drafty farmhouse kitchen, sometimes no matter how well I insulate the crock, it just gets too cold for the reaction to keep going. Happened again Thursday, but instead of dumping 1/2 a gallon of milk I saved it and decided to try again with a little more yogurt and a warmer room. Still didn't actually work the second time, but I did end up making (sort of) homemade ricotta! It's pretty tasty with a sweet tangy flavor and a crumbly soft/fresh cheese consistency. Would make an excellent clean no preservative substitute for cottage cheese and I am going to try it tomorrow in a smoothie.

My walking has not been going - I have again fallen into the end of the semester I have no work done and 50 pages worth of papers to write. I am going to stop procrastinating now and go back to writing!
