so, today in my quest for the simple life, i had to go buy yet some more stuff.
ha. not really, this morning i enjoyed a nice round of "basement shopping". a few weeks ago when i cleaned out my cupboard, i found a yogurt maker tucked way at the back. i've been carrying this thing around for at least a decade, and i don't remember EVER using it! i guess that is because i discovered dannon, or maybe it is because i thought i was too cool to make yogurt (ps, we made this stuff at home in the 70s, in a little orange unit with individual glass jars - WAY sexier than this thing).
but forget about looks, this bad boy is cool too (no, i have no name for him yet)! all you do is scald some milk, and add a little "live" yogurt (try not to think about why it's alive) and then cook it in the handy dandy yogurt pot for a few hours. wha la, i got 4 nice cups of smooth creamy yogurt. and with the addition of a spoonful of homemade cherry jam, i should be looking at a nice breakfast treat in the morning!
total cost : $2.14 (not counting the extra milk i still have in the fridge). okay, so it's not really less expensive, but I MADE IT and therefore it is better! i think i might just go make some more ...

That's it, I'm coming over. See you for breakfast!
oh dang.
karen, this stuff was so amazingly good! i had to make another batch, and i am now feeling like a fully self-sufficient woman!
forget the fact that the milk i used for making the yogurt came in a giant PLASTIC carton, still, i feel like i am one step away from being a farm wife :)
