Marvelous Microbes

My favorite power food is Greek yoghurt and honey.

Misty May-Treanor

After heating up some ordinary supermarket milk (boosted with two heaped dessert spoonfuls of powdered milk) to just pre-boiling, we rapidly cool it down in an ice bath to room temperature and then inoculate it with a couple of spoonfuls of yoghurt from the last batch. Pop it in the EasyYo container for just over 12 hours, cool in the fridge and voila - surprisingly good yoghurt. Cheap and easy(yo), our favourite combination!

OK so we dug in to test it, making a heart shaped dent!

We've been to a couple of TFS run sessions lately, just to find out what to do if a conflagration looms on the horizon. Conclusion? Run away!

The circle of learning

It seems strange sometimes to think about a big fire on the property - we've often had our fireplace in action right up to around Christmas, and sometimes back on again late January! Just today, after a marathon session mowing and then slashing in the paddocks, down came the rain to alleviate the heat and humidity. Thanks Tasmania - we like the cool stuff.

With Anthony and Kym both at home at the moment (well done holiday season), we are looking forward to completing many projects around the place - helped by our many visitors? Time will tell, and it would be nice if the weather co-operated. As Christmas looms we are looking forward to a full house and even fuller stomachs.
