Yogurt in training
I had some time this morning, and thought I would make some yogurt. It is very easy, and this would be, what my forth or fifth time making it. I firgured I would make it, and then get to work.
But, oh, I forget why slow food is called slow food. As I heated the milk, I tried to find something else to do. I had to keep an eye on the thermometer, as it is not supposed to go over 180F, so I had to keep walking back and forth.
Finally, it reached 180F, and I could turn off the heat, but then I had to keep checking to make sure it hadn’t gone below 118F. I swear, it must have been easier when people did this in the old days. Did they just know?
I finally took a book, and read, and looked up every so often. It took about half an hour, and I suppose next time I will just know that is how long it takes, and just factor that in. Before, I have had other things going on while I’m making yogurt. I have to remember that next time.
So now, to just wait for it to come out of the Yogothurm, but that will be 16 hours, and that I can time, and do other things while I wait.
