Yogurt?

[Clipper]

I have yet to see a young kid as a greeter. They are usually older and retired folks in our area. Once in recent months when I went there for my coffee filters, as I did yesterday, there was an older gentleman acting as greeter. He was too busy to greet though. There was a display of remote control trucks near where he was standing, and he was totally engrossed in playing with one of them. People entering the store actually had to be careful not to trip over the truck as he ran it around in the aisle. One of the reasons I don't like Walmart is that they put on such a happy face while the corporate hypocrites underpay their employees, expect them to work like machines, and bend them over for their daily screwing when the punch in for work.

Making yogurt at home is easy. This website tells you how.

This is essentially how I make my yogurt, but my method varies a little. Instead of using the oven to keep mine warm, I either place the pot on a heating pad set to Med, or place it on the base of a dehydrator, and let it 'grow' for 6-8 hours. In either case I wrap the pot loosely with a bath towel and use a thermometer to check the temperature. Anywhere between 90 and 120 degrees works, but don't go above or below these limits. Too cool and the bacteria won't grow, and too warm will kill the bacteria.

I like plain yogurt drizzled with honey, or mixed with a tablespoon of any of several kinds of fruit jam. I also use it to make yogurt cheese (called Labani) and in making Tzatziki (a Greek sauce for gyros). More about that in another post.

I thought you might have had an instant method! I'll stick with buying it but thanks.

No instant for me. Good things take a little time and effort and when it comes to food, it's fine with me. I'd much rather spend a little time in the kitchen resulting in a healthful culinary treat, than spend a couple of hours sitting on the couch watching a ball game, political event, or a mindless sit-com with no tangible results. I also appreciate saving my hard-earned money on something worthwhile.

As far as Tzatziki sauce and gyro sandwiches, there are several ways to make them. I suggest anyone interested find the recipe they like. There are several available on Google.

Oh that is alright Kit. No need for a tissy fit. I also thought you might have had an easier version of Tzatziki or Gyro. I make them myself.

No tissy fit, PB... just an opinion.

I guess it was in the tone of your voice. But is ok.

That's one problem with the internet, it is difficult to determine tone. When reading anything I post it is probably best to assume I am making a joke. However sometimes I am serious. Perhaps it would be best if I ended each post with an emoji.

Good point, CB. I'm much the same way most of the time myself. What I may say isn't meant to be unkind (usually) but some people just don't get the joke part, and either take personal offense or rip me a new one in defense of another. Sometimes even a smiley emoticon at the end doesn't do any good. Some people construe that to be sarcasm. Darned if we do, and darned if we don't sometimes, huh?
