Making two kinds of yogurt

 

Monday

I got up before 8. I prepared fiber gel, etc. I practiced. I brought in the milk and eggs from the front porch. I heated half of the milk to 180, then let it cool while I heated the other half. I put some of the yogurt starter from last week in the first batch and let it cure in the dehydrator. When the second half cooled, I put some probiotics in it. I put it in the oven to keep warm. But the oven was hard to work with. It heated up quickly and did not stop heating right away when I turned it off.

I prepared the sauna and did 20 minutes of steaming. Then I cleaned up and took a shower. I re-heated the oven. I went cleaning for over an hour. Bobbie and Jack stopped by. They decided it was move-in ready. (But the bathtub won't drain...?) I worked on the drain, but to no avail. I also finished the windows.

I went home for breakfast and checked e-mail. I went to the library for copies and she gave me eggs, too. Then I went back to clean, mop, etc. Almost finished. I put some stuff in my car to take to the swap shop.

I went home and took fiber gel. I put supper in the toaster oven. I pulled the first yogurt out of the dehydrator and put the second one in. I went to the chapel a little early to set up the bells table and music. Then I had to run home to get my music. John came, but Michele was home sick. So I asked Saronna to sub for her, and asked John to be the section leader. Anyway, we all played the two hymns for Sunday and then I asked Caleb and Saronna to join the bell players. Keli and I and the kids played some other pieces while the bells practiced their one piece. Caleb got frustrated and quit. So I asked Deb if she could come every week. She wasn't sure. John helped me pack up after everyone left. Then we each went home.

I put rennet in the second yogurt to see what would happen (nothing). I put the first yogurt in two jars. A lady texted me wanting to get something from the swap shop. So I ran down there and helped her get two furniture pieces. I stayed to drop off a shower curtain and to find a pair of cotton jeans.

When I got home, I read messages, then worked on my blog. I made tea. We watched one episode of Criminal Minds. Then I worked on the pair of jeans, removing the waistband.  It was after 11 when I went to bed.
