Plans for today (2025)

Plans for today include, but not limited to, going up town to buy more Wood Stove Pellets (our heating source) spring water (even though I hate paying for water, but better than well water) Vicks NyQuil, and just some bits and pieces if we see anything we want need :)

Other than that - to stay as warm as possible ... :)
 
Well, we’ve had breakfast today, then walked up and down a retail area, bought a few things, had milkshakes, and now we’re back in the room in the A/C, waiting for supper in a few hours at a German place. Baby needs her sauerkraut! 😉

Forgot to include my snazzy li’l topper in my Ft. Lauderdale Vice outfit:

Because they do. It's a tropical country, remember; stuff deteriorates very, very fast. Plus, most of the houses here have got large gardens/green zones, which need to be tidied almost every day.

In summer it can be very hot here as well, so their concession is that we get a landfill collection once a week. Normally they alternate weekly between recycling and landfill waste, except summer when landfill is every week and recycling every other week. Green waste is on the in between weeks if you pay extra. That's despite 30-40°C. I guess we're lucky, further south we don't have the humidity that those closer to the equator get.
 
Plans are to ready lunch out. We've no bread in the house unusually and we're at the doctors this afternoon for twice yearly vaccinations, so we'll go out, do eat lunch, do the shopping, go to the doctors on the way home, then repeat shopping for the freezer stuff and come home and hide in the dark from the heat.

At some point, I need to throw the chicks out for play time, but it may rain whilst we're out, so that might have to be much later.

Just tasted my homemade yogurt, it’s creamy, my husband said Mountain High yogurt is more sour than mine.
I was worried after your comment. I just boil it to 180 F and let it cool down to 112-117 F.

My IP boils to 180'ish and then I cool to 112F before adding the live culture. IP then goes for 112'ish for 12 hours and yogurt done. 👍🤤

12 hours? Why? Maybe it’s too hot for so long. I turned my pot off, then mix in my starting yogurt from the last batch, then I pour the liquid in the jar, that’s it. My husband covers them overnight, in the morning they are very thick and that’s it. I don’t have Instant Pot. I just use regular pot.

We do ours for 48hrs with soy milk. It's set solid by the time we eat it. We also don't pre- heat/sterilise it first either. Just pour it straight from the container.
