Another stupidly simple gadget I probably should have purchased years ago
I go through greek yogurt fairly quickly. I used to be all TEAM OIKOS but then finding full fat plain greek yogurt got far too complicated where I live (they think Outback Steakhouse is fancy here) so I was heartbroken omg.
Then my euro buds were all 'you BUY your yogurt? WTF murrican? Why don't you just make it?!?' and me, being the murrican I am, I got super triggered and offended and I was gonna open a can of Freedom up on their commie butts BUT....then I took the higher road and listened: I could *make* yogurt.
I did a ton of research since I was raised by baby boomers who thought leaving milk out on the counter for more than 5 minutes would unleash a botulism plague upon the world. I slowly began to realize that most of my favorite foods are just milk that's gone bad. Like...can milk even really go bad? Or does it just level up in cheese funk awesomeness? WHY WAS I LIED TO AS A KID?
Anyhoo. I eventually got this little diary conversion pod'o'bliss and some starter culture. GUESS WHAT? I followed the directions and made the best yogurt I've had outside of Greece and Italy. I love set it and pretty much forget it gadgets and this one is it pretty self-managing. You just have to remember that you're making yogurt.
