Ooooohhhh! Red jalapeños! They're divine; sweet, spicy and perfect for making pepper jelly or for stuffing.

Yes!!! I *always* have red jalapeños. They're like running water and lights!
There's only one store, Morelo's Market, that consistently has south of the border produce. My Mom looks at me like WTH when she comes down and sees cactus, nopal, leaves in the fridge.

Plain, full fatDo you buy plain yogurt or the ones that have fruit and/or a million other flavors? It's hard to find plain full fat yogurt so I make my own. Markets are pushing no fat, Greek, flavors, tons of suger, dyes, homogenizers, blah blah blah/yuck!
Ditto on that. Far superior in flavour and, when making Indian food, it doesn't separate like the "lo fat" stuff.
If I want fruit, then I'll add fresh strawberries, peaches, pineapple.

Yes, if I want fruit I add it as well. I make mine 1/2 gallon at a time.

I picked up 1/2 gallon of whole pasteurized milk when at Walmart earlier and now have two ingredients instead of one. First try, that worked, for making mozzarella and I've got a nice, almost full, jug of salted whey to use making bread.
After these, 10 oz., cooled off a bit in the fridge they feel like mozzarella. They certainly don't look like anything you'd buy but they're a bit more than 50% cheaper than buying. Need to work on the process; made a mess...
The messy step...
Now have this for bread!

I may just have to sacrifise 1 litre yoghurt to do something similar.I picked up 1/2 gallon of whole pasteurized milk when at Walmart earlier and now have two ingredients instead of one.

I'll read up on it later today.
I think I got rennet somewhere hiding in the fridge. Can that expire?
I bought it for someone else, but they never came to collect
