We have, it appears, aquired a yogurt maker. Not a contraption you understand but a person for, unbeknown to us, and unbeknown to him, it turns out our guest has a talent. Since last Friday he has become a yogurt churner extraordinaire. Yogurt is emerging in fruity flavours by the litre. A litre of cherry has been consumed, twice, banana almost consumed and a litre of boysenberry has now appeared in the fridge overnight.
How did we he step-step son discover he had this culinary talent, and more to the point the desire ?
I use the Easyo system; pour powder in, wait 8 hours and serve for breakfast for the next week. Well, I did use the Easyo system, now he does.
This started last Friday with a text from houseguest step-step son. 'Can I make myself a yogurt?' I think he thought the packets were an instant dessert.
I rang and talked him through it ending with '...then wait eight hours.' I fully expected to find no yogurt when I got home that day. Instead for two days I found no yogurt any day.
You see he did make the yogurt, he then ate the yogurt and made another one the next day, and ate that.
Now on day 5 he has an efficient fermentation line going to the benefit of all of us. As one tub is almost finished he starts making the next batch. A smooth operation has been developed ensureing a ready supply for my breakfast and his every meal.
I told him I'd buy him a kit of his own for Xmas. His eyes lit up. 'I'd love that. I could have a complete shelf of different yogurts in the fridge then .'
I think he's not doing too badly as it is.

Wow.
ReplyDeleteI think there is a career ahead of this boy as a house-guest. I would love to have him making yoghurt here...
I'll point him in that direction as a career choice.
DeleteI'm going to have to check into this.... sounds like something I could make for Bill's breakfast and my lunch (we have different eating habits ;-)...... Looks like you have a winner! (both in the yogurt and your "houseguest"!)
ReplyDeleteEasyo is available in healthfood stores and on line in the UK. Its a New Zealand brand.
Deleteglad things are going good with your house guest. Any idea how long he is staying for?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. Still he's good company.
DeleteThis sounds fantastic, my daughter would love this.
ReplyDeleteI would expect Easyo's available where you are. Its exported from New Zealand. We can get it in stores and on line in the UK.
DeleteEasiyo, if you want to search for it online.
