[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ain't nobody got time to be making yogurt at home, hon! Perhaps it is GOOP posting?[/quote]
you are joking right? It literally needs a few seconds to set yogurt with starter.. the time you took to post on dcum..  :lol: [/quote]
I am not joking, I can buy the darned thing, and I work hard so I don't have to make yogurt, which I am allergic to anyway at home. Take your airs somewhere else dearie. I grew up eating store bought yogurt, sure, it was real yogurt in a Balkan country, and my peasant grandma did not make yogurt! She had plenty on her plate with plucking the danged chicken. And she rolled her own pasty sheets all over the kitchen table. So, darling, I am going to do as my grandma did. If she didn't see a point in making her own yogurt then I surely will not make yogurt.
I am sorry that you feel like you need to broadcast your virtue to the world. Virtue signaling is for the insecure and will not make you a better person. So, you go churn you butter, and I will pay somewhere to burn it for me. And I will still be a better person than you. Any time of the day.[/quote]

This!

I make egg noodles that dry all day on the table (while I do other things).  I make bread (which rises while I do other things).  I soak and cook beans (both happen while I do other things; I don’t worry about a crock pot being on overnight, like I would worry about yogurt in the oven overnight).

I CAN churn butter.  The last time kids wanted “fresh” butter, they got to make it in the soccer ball ice cream churn; while it turned out ok, they want to do with it ever again.

I CAN make yogurt, but I hate scalding milk, I hate the time it takes, and I don’t feel comfortable walking away.

Most important to me?  I coukk l don’t hope to keep up with the household’s dairy needs, not with everything else I cook and do.  And my priorities are much higher than homemade dairy.

FWIW, I don’t do waffles at all, let alone frozen.  Cereal is steel-cut oatmeal made with whole milk on the stove, with a mix of spices, fruit, nuts or nut butter or even unsweetened cocoa powder.[/quote]
