Instead of keeping it simple, though, and just enjoying bread, biscuits, and pancakes, I got books - several books - filled with sourdough recipes. <BR/><BR/>I then proceeded to feed our compost pile regularly. Sourdough cornbread? Hideous. Chuck it! Sourdough blueberry muffins? Gag! Out it goes. My sourdough didn't save me money and I ditched the whole effort.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to try again, someday, but stick to what I know we'll like. And, you might finally push me to get around to trying the yogurt. I even picked up a widemouth thermos at a yard sale a few months ago just for this, but never did it.<BR/><BR/>Wow, sorry for the long comment!Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9602464.post-84969629182909337252008-02-29T07:02:00.000-05:002008-02-29T07:02:00.000-05:00Ruthie, we go through so much pasta with this or ...Ruthie, we go through so much pasta with this or that because its quick. We don't have a dehydrator but there's a great story about one that we did have a long time ago... <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip Annmarie.<BR/><BR/>That's so cool Jan. Until I read Melanie's tutorial I'd never heard of using a thermos.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911065931537643607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9602464.post-76914981206803217712008-02-28T07:29:00.000-05:002008-02-28T07:29:00.000-05:00I don't make yogurt often but the only way I've do...I don't make yogurt often but the only way I've done it is by the thermos method. Usually it turns out, sometimes it doesn't, but I always find a use for the results either way. I like the idea of using vanilla soymilk, will try that soon.<BR/><BR/>JanJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09893677002143050945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9602464.post-70167678956389159342008-02-27T19:45:00.000-05:002008-02-27T19:45:00.000-05:00I just thought of something.

I don't know if you have a dehydrator or not. I may try it if your yogurt works out.<BR/><BR/>I never buy soy yogurt because I did once and Russell and I finished a whole quart in a day. Then I looked at the label and noticed it had TWENTY NINE grams of SUGAR per serving!!!! I was floored. No wonder it tasted so good.Ruthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385890645302358783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9602464.post-59767424670507945382008-02-27T18:23:00.000-05:002008-02-27T18:23:00.000-05:00I'd read and found to be true myself that homemade...I'd read and found to be true myself that homemade yogurt fails to work as a starter after a number of batches. I bought freeze dried starter, and only use half of the packet, so still don't buy yogurt anymore.AnnMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505967972774910106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9602464.post-32409594013204494932008-02-27T17:04:00.000-05:002008-02-27T17:04:00.000-05:00yummm your dinner sounds really delicious.
