My day started with a blaring alarm clock at 6am. I had to get up to make homemade biscuits for a small group of our youth that are in a discipleship group with Cam on Monday mornings. I mean, seriously, these guys are totally worth the early rise time! Since I was up, I had an awesome quiet time with the Lord and some sweet coffee, then hit the floor running. Literally. I did the elliptical machine for 25 minutes, showered, cooked breakfast for the girls, started school with them, did a science experiment, then made my way back to the kitchen for lunch. This is where I found a gallon of milk on the brink of expiration, and it was unopened! So, then and there, I decided to make yogurt with it. It was on my list of "someday I might do that" things. Today was someday. I did what I was supposed to do, then let it incubate for 7 hours. In the meantime, I started cleaning. Toilets and tubs are scrubbed, furniture polished, floors swept, mopped, and vacummed. Today my "extra" was the oven. It got a cleandown, and since I was there, so did the kitchen ceiling fan and vent hood thingy. Laundry was going all day (I was folding), I was answering questions and explaining concepts when needed. I made some homemade granola bars because we needed a snack for tomorrow's activities. I also turned some yogurt I already had into greek yogurt (because we like it better and I thought I needed the greek yogurt for dinner, but I didn't...). Then, I started dinner. Gyros with homemade pita bread. It was on the menu. I had the meat thawing. I had to do it. I think I could kill a dragon with the garlic fumes coming from my mouth. FINALLY, the kitchen is clean again, the laundry is all put away, and I had another bath. It was time to finish the yogurt. I just have to drain the whey off. This is how you turn plain yogurt into expensive greek yogurt. All this yogurt cost me was a gallon of milk that was going to go bad anyway!
The jar has the whey from the earlier yogurt draining...the bowl is catching the whey from the yogurt in the towel. It will hang for a couple hours and be super thick creamy greek yogurt.
I'll be sure to let you know if this stuff actually tastes good once I try it!

Milk doesn't go bad on the date of expiration lol...also just reading your posts makes me so tired. I'd need 3 or 4 of me to accomplish all that in one day.
Just call you SUPER MOM!! I can't seem to get ANYTHING done these days!! :)
