Yogurt in the oven; was it just a dream?
When I was about 10 I had a confrontation with my two best friends in my neighborhood. We were walking side by side down our street and I can't recall exactly what happened but my feelings were hurt. It was months (years?) before I realized, through an innocent conversation, that I had dreamed the entire episode. It was so weird--it felt real.
So you can see how I'm starting the second guess the reality of a recipe I SWEAR I read in Craft Magazine for making yogurt in the oven. It involved a few tablespoons of plain yogurt, a lot of milk and a night spent in the oven and sounded really fun and delicious. Imagine my disappointment when I went through the most recent issue of Craft and found----nada. Previous issue---nada. Web search, no help. If you have recently read anything about making yogurt in a bowl in the oven, please enlighten me.
In the meantime I am continuing to use tomatoes. Processed 8 pints of salsa tonight and have consumed several tomato-based dishes of late.
Exhibit 1: Pasta sauce
Exhibit 2: Salad

In news unrelated to cooking, our trip to Bend, Oregon was great. Among other activities I managed to turn our hands blue.
Oops. My friend was good natured about me smurferating the family. Thanks, Wendy!

Olympic watching is taking a good chunk of time (washcloth is almost done!) and I'm off on a short business trip tomorrow so posting will continue to be sparse. I hope to catch up on blog reading soon... Hope you are well.


I don't know about your dream, or where you actually saw it but the recipe does exist. My mom made our yogurt that way and tried to get me to do the same with Fuller. Fuller hated it, but I suspect it was because he had the grocery store stuff first. It is such a low temp in the oven, she would use a heating pad.
Do you have the More-With-Less Cookbook? It is where the recipe came from. If you don't, let me know and I will scan the pages for you.

You must have some vivid dreams! :)

OMG, I dreamed that my family was on vacation in some beautiful old world city and our camera was switched with someone else's. We managed to switch back but discovered pictures of all manner of atrocities against humanity had been taken with ours. Which resulted in us being chased by bad guys and ultimately caused my hubby and I to have to turn ourselves into whacky box-robots made of pvc pipes. It was to save the human race. Whoa.
Anyway, did you see Angry Chicken's paneer post? You might want to try that instead of yogurt! I'm going to, once we get our raw milk next week.
