Started the day with yogurt and granola still working on the cranberries so again this week it will be cranberry granonla but Ive switched to blue agave nectar. It's runnier than honey so the moisture content seemed to be up so I had to bake a bit longer however it has a lower GI so overall better for us.
I used 1% milk today for the yogurt also something new. The yield was much more than I expected -- at least as much as with the whole milk -- and I had much more whey it doesn't make sense Ill have be more attentive next week and do some measuring. The texture was also different much more like a curdle until i got the whey out. I used a had mixer to blend it down to a smoother less lumpy consistency but it tasted OK so again better for us overall.
I had extra eggs so I picked 9. Yup with red pepper flakes and other hot secret spices, I think I will love them however Julie did shake her head at me but heck its a protein snack I figure.
I also took some time today to make farmers cheese with cranberries. Breakfast food perhaps.
I did some research on nut butter and made some spread today. So I can see now how stupid it was to by almond butter last time I went to the store. OY ... I made mine out of cashew for about 50 cents -small batch. It was almost better than anything I have ever made and has great omega fats.
Mushrooms were on sale ! so I also pickled a little over a pint for three dollars. Ill get a mushroom in my martini for the next week or so.
The Kraut is moving along well. It smells though so I had to turn it. I used an onion in this batch as well so that's probably why but I can tell its going to be very tasty.
I found a recipe for beat juice and whey. Its suppose to be the king of king tonics .. Ill try it. It will make me feel better to since I tossed today's whey I have way more then I can use now.
Today was goto the store any buy meat day. Im sure they have some study that tells them they should print a flyer of cupons instead of just marking the item down but it would seem they could save any difference by not paying for printing and cart guy clean up. I guess that's why I don't own a grocery store.
What I found odd was that I was angry at the waste created by the fliers. Im so far from liberal and tree hugging it caused me to pause. I was angry because it was stupid wasteful and not necessary. I can see I will have to meditate on this. Perhaps this is a part of the change consuming my life. It started with a pot luck where someone brought home made kraut one year ago. Today I made my own cheese to put on the crackers I made after I picked the broccoli I grew.
Any way all topics for when I get back into this blogging thing, for now Ill just focus on the day when I'll be eating my pickled eggs.
