RE: Yogurt, a freewrite
What she said (or he) - theinnerblocks. :) I admire you clean and organized cooks!
I'm a messy cook. Not gonna say more than that. Just, my kitchen might pass inspection for invisible germs, but the rest... (see previous comments on hoarding, and add to that, um, laziness? inertia? a sense of futility? apathy?)
Now I have to get out of the house rather than face my messy countertop, cluttered as it is... not gonna photograph this!!
LOL!! The photo doesn't even begin to capture the clutter!!! I feel better about myself somehow.
My grandma used to make cottage cheese in a cloth sack strung up from a clothesline, dripping into a bucket below... never made yogurt. And I have all these dairy allergies, and soy or coconut or almond alternatives all have been gross. *I miss butter! I miss ice cream! and cheese--glorious cheese!
Haha, this is she this time! Stacie D 😊 But my husband and I take turns curating. I have often thought we should sign which one is which under the comments, it might make it easier to reply! haha I have worked hard over the years to stay as decluttered as I can. It always causes me so much stress right under the surface. It really helped when we adapted a minimalist lifestyle while we were living nomadic. I hear you on the dairy conundrum. We didn't start out with allergies, just chasing a healthier lifestyle, but we have really stayed away from store bought alternatives because they have so many ingredients! I feel like the dairy version has got to be healthier haha. I did start making our own cashew cheeses and sour creams. I'm venturing over to ice creams as well. Not because the dairy free versions were gross...there are some really, really good ones out there, but because of all the sugar. I haven't even tried with butter yet though! haha
