So far, we are very happy with the L. reuteri "yogurt" I've made. In this blog post, I talked about it. The recipe/technique I'm using is from Dr. Davis. In the linked post, there's a video as well as written instructions. The video will lead you to other videos where he discusses the health benefits of the yogurt. We've only eaten it twice (1/2 cup per day). There are people who should NOT ...
Merry Christmas to You All
I hope you all have a great Christmas and get to spend some wonderful time with family and friends. It's just the two of us, along with Boots, Oscar and Cooper this year and I can't say I'm too excited about that. Chad is working out of town and it just didn't work out for them to get back here for Christmas. I told him . . that's fine. We'll celebrate when you get back. That sounded much better ...
A Different Yogurt
Another day, another adventure! :) Last night I was watching a medical guy that I like and he was talking to Dr. William Davis about a type of yogurt that is made using L. Reuteri instead of the usual probiotic bacteria (lactobacillus bulgaricus, streptococcus thermophilus). Right off the bat, I heard that it is not technically a yogurt. It's a fermented dairy product but has similar benefits ...

Today (Wednesday) was stitching day with my friend. I enjoy these days so much! When we first started getting together, we started at 10 and stitched til 4 p.m. Lately, we've decided we needed more time and started meeting at 9 and stitching til 4. Some days, we hardly get any stitching done but we talk about stitching non-stop. She finds the best things on Instagram and she will show me things ...
Defrosting the Freezer
For my entire adult life, I would only buy a big freezer that was not frost free. I still believe they're better for the food and have less things to go wrong but they are not better on old ladies! Our newest freezers are frost free and I'm very thankful for that "technology" - even though they've probably been around since I was a child. Yesterday was freezer defrosting day. It was warm ...
The Heat is OFF Again!
The heater repairs lasted three days! I guess it was good while it lasted. :) Vince talked to the repairman and he will be here Monday. He said it could be "this" or "that" or it could be both. It's sounding like we'll need a new unit and I'm not sure those are easy to get these days. Towards the end of next week, we have night temps in the mid-teens. I've been asking to change out the unit. We ...
