I think that making yogurt had been one of my unfulfilled birthday goals<\/a> in some year in the past.<\/p>\n

There is something that appeals to me deeply about being able to, knowing how to make the things that have become a part of your daily life. There is something separately appealing about understanding how some things work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When you pare away the loftier reasons for wanting to know how to make yogurt, it comes down to realizing just how much I spend on yogurt. During the work week, I usually eat yogurt for breakfast every day. Also, I send yogurt to lunch with Alex a few times a week. Additionally, if I am taking a dance class in the evening, when I come home I might feel hungry, but tired so I eat, you guessed it, yogurt. Which yogurt do I like to eat? Oh, that would be the yogurt that costs $6 for 32 ounces. \u00a0That adds up quickly, when you know that there’s another way.<\/p>\n

So I made yogurt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this time I enlisted help.<\/p>\n

Yogurt was not a first time success situation like many of my kitchen projects. Recently, I made yogurt taking into consideration the many<\/a>, many<\/a>, many<\/a> things I had read about making yogurt. I so feared a thin, snot-like yogurt that I overcompensated on the other side. The yogurt was thick, but it was closer to a cheese territory in texture, and when I tried to mix my apple butter into it…let’s just say it wasn’t pretty at all.<\/p>\n

The more recent try, inspired by a friend on Facebook who was singing praises to her home yogurt-making, I decided to try it again, using a recipe I found on the Kitchn<\/a>. This time I didn’t add powdered milk. I also didn’t use skim milk. I used whole milk. And all was well. Success was mine!<\/p>\n
