I <3 Yogurt
When I was little I hated yogurt. Now, what I mean is that I hated those little Dannon things with the fruit on the bottom that they used to give kinds for lunch. Even then I had a distaste for things that did not taste like they should, like “all natural fruit flavours” and yogurt should not resemble jello should it?
I remember the first moment I stopped hating yogurt. It was when I was eating dinner with my French host family for the first time and they had plain yogurt with sugar on top for dessert. I remembered the Dannon cups and might have even wrinkled my nose, but I was determined to take advantage of local food customs (which on one occasion caused me severe stomach pains from a semi-cooked egg) and I ate it.
It was tart! Not jiggly! Creamy!
Since then I’ve eaten yogurt nearly every day if I could get my hands on the good kind, but now I can make my own!
For Christmas I got a yogurt maker from Williams and Sonoma and I finally got to eat some of the yogurt I made. There are only two ingredients, milk and yogurt starter, and it is delicious, thick, and tangy! Plus way cheaper (at the cost of a bottle of milk) than fancy Whole Foods yogurt.
Another win for the student budget!
