Ramblings about Yogurt


I actually prefer the taste of homemade, however because we both work full time jobs we have had to cut some things to streamline. We buy Source with active bacterial culture, low fat and made with Splenda. Lots of flavours. We've gone from having 2 horses, 6 pigs, a dozen or so rabbits, 2 dogs and 5 cats, to no animals at all. From the Harrowsmith lifestyle to living in town with only a garden to tend and within walking distance from most things. We found the "simple" life not so simple so we downsized and find it easier to rent horses when we feel like riding, buy meat almost as cheap (sometimes cheaper) than we can raise it and pet other peoples dogs . Life is easier when we don't have to mend fences, chase down a runaway horse, shock treat a well, pitch hay, feed pigs, dry fruit, make yogurt, etc. etc. Sure we had fun. Do we miss it? Sometimes. But, now we have more time for each other, to look after ourselves, and pursue peace.
