Totally Cheese? Another Yogurt fail

I am finding out that Buttercup doesn't like being milked so much anymore for the last 3 days she has tried to get the bucket, which she succeeded yesterday, she didn't spill that much milk but her foot got in the bucket, therefore, we had to boil the milk to kill any germs.  I figured since the milk was hot anyways we'd have another go at the yogurt.  Once it was cooled to 115 I added the starter yogurt and wrapped it up in towels and stuck it in the van.  I figured it would stay warm in there.
  Meanwhile the kids were playing around, Sarah managed to gather eggs without breaking any today which is great! We pretty much spent the rest of the afternoon outside playing and discovering new things.  Apparently we have frogs around here (in the middle of know where).


THere was a great deal of squealing at this little guy .  towards the end of the afternoon Micah discovered something that gave him this.   We're still not sure what caused it but a trip to the doctor revealed that it was nothing other than an allergic reaction.  At least it wasn't poison ivy or oak!  After the doctor we stopped at Bunny Foo Foo's for supper and swimming.  It had been about 6 hours since i did the yogurt, which was still in the van, so i brought it in and we gave it a try.  It smelt like yogurt so i was hopeful but it tasted like cheese. UGH I'll get it one of these days.


  You may be wondering why the title is totally cheese.  Cheese is apparent but my daughter has discovered a new word. Everything is totally! She was totally helping me with chores and then she thought going for a walk was totally cool, I could go on and on I think she used the word at least 40 times throughout the day.
  Luckily the rest of the evening went by without to much more excitement.  We did have some visitors last night but more about that later.

  1. I added half a cup of your cheese/yogurt to a berry smoothie last night and it was good!

  2. Failed yogurt makes nice soft bread.
    Don't you have a thermos for the yogurt? Keep trying. I am on my 4th try and won't give up.

  3. Do you use the yogurt in place of the water?
