1996 was not the best of seasons for us...

The only cure is more cowbell.

That, and chocolate, fixes everything.

Maybe some WD-40 and duct tape, too.

Red wine is good for fixing things, too.

I bought an Instant Pot on Prime Day. For those of you who don't know, it's a pressure cooker/slow cooker/steamer/rice cooker/yogurt maker. The one I bought is 8 qts, which is huge for just one person. Now there is a 3 qt model. Anyway, if you've ever found yourself saying you'd cook a particular item if you only had more time, this is the kitchen gizmo for you.

I made my first batch of yogurt last night. It cultured overnight, and you have to cool it in the refrigerator for 4-6 hrs before stirring or anything. I was excited to see that it actually set as it was supposed to. Can't wait to taste it. I used a tbsp of Fage as the starter, added to 1/2 gallon of whole milk.

Does you have to heat the milk first or does it heat it during the yogurt making process?

Thank you!

[bjornolf]

I've got a fever...

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon and don't pass it to the family.

Sorry. I was just going for AD's response. My bad. Shoulda quoted.

My grandfather had two quotes about that:

"If it weren't for wd-40 and duct tape, the world would grind to a halt and then fall apart."

and

"If it moves and it shouldn't, get the duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, grab the WD-40."

Your grandfather was a wise old sage!

I refuse to go over there anymore. I like my friends here.

Yep. You heat during a boil cycle to 180 and then cool to 90-110 before adding the starter. It incubates for 8 hrs after that, which I ran overnight.

I used my old school crock pot to do corn on the cob today. Turned out nice, I didn't have to go outside in the 101 F heat to grill it nor did I have to heat up the house by boiling it on the stove.

I plan on going to Texas this winter. Maybe January, when its way cooler. My cousin and I will probable go to San Antonio for a few days. Maybe we can catch up.

Can you share the details of cooking corn on the cob in a crock pot? Sounds most interesting! Thx

C'mon down! Texas winters have been mighty kind to me. San Antonio must see's are The Riverwalk and the Alamo. The latter is historic but isn't necessarily grand. In a way some may view it as disappointing.

Fredricksburg, 45 minutes or so north, has an incredibly good WW II museum.
