It has been a productive afternoon for me, I’ve experimented and taken my home made yoghurt to the next stage and made Strawberry Frozen Yoghurt!!!!
After doing a bit of research on t’internet, I decided to use a full flask of yoghurt (400mls) To that I added one and a half cans of strawberries, drained of syrup and a dollop of honey to sweeten. The last batch of yoghurt I made was a little more tart than the first batch as I used a different brand of organic natural yog as a starter.
The ingredients were combined in a bowl and then poured into my Mum’s ice cream maker to churn and freeze. I then scooped it out into a tub to place in the freezer wher it will stay until tomorrow.
An excursion out this evening to meet a lovely lady from freecycle brought home a friend for Vera. Now I have decided to call her Mavis, don’t laugh, I haven’t lost the plot, I just thought as I’d shortened aloe vera to vera it seemed only fair to give the new plant a name too!
So here she is in her new pot beside her friend! In the process of giving the girls some new pots, I discovered that Vera was having babies!!!!!!!
I have taken those out and re-potted as well. No idea if I have completed this task in any way correctly, but I will keep an eye on the babies to see what happens. In the picture below you can just see the babies peeking out of the pots!
Now in the course of writing this blog post (It’s only taken me an hour!) I’ve had to go vacuum up my husbands mess, vacuum the rest of downstairs while the vacuum cleaner was out,make lunches, and tidy the kitchen. *phew* In fairness to hubs, he was hanging a new door for me, so it was the least I could do to clean up all the wood shavings. I’ve come to the conclusion though, I need to vac pac my family and dog, particularly the dog, then perhaps I wouldn’t have so much grot to clean up
Anyone know where I can buy an industrial sized vac pac machine on the cheap????????????????
