I, sadly, did housework today, too. I actually found myself with some motivation, and that's such a rare occurrence, I figured I better use it while I had it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Laura, it's really not, even though it sounds like it is (this is assuming you have the yogurt setting). Basically, you want to make sure there are only good microbes, then give them a happy environment to do their thing all day.
Pour milk into the pot. Heat it up to kill anything in there
Let it cool
Add starter (i.e.-plain yogurt of your choice)
Set the pot to "yogurt"
Come back in 8-10 hours
Pour into colander with coffee filters or cheesecloth
Let drain in the fridge until it's the thickness you like.
(I have the temperature standards written down because my brain does not retain numbers)
It takes (mostly passive) time, but if you have a thermometer, it's quite easy and pretty forgiving if you're a little off.

Our wings are not tired.
I'll give it a try at some point, but remain skeptical. It is so easy to buy the little cups...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Had my birthday party today.(There were no other good dates this month for it.) Three people showed up. Still, hadn't seen them in months, so it was nice to catch up.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Happy Birthday, Sheryl!

I'm sorry about your DH's aunt, Laura.
I have a instant pot. I don't use it that often, though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The simplest way I know to make yogurt is to heat milk to killing-the-bad stuff temperature, let it cool down to happy-good-bug temperature and add starter (yogurt with live culture from the store or from your last batch) and put that mixture in a thermos overnight. Works pretty well, although I have to look up the temperatures pretty much every time.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday, Sheryl!
Making my own yogurt and pizza has never occurred to me before today.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm with Mr Loomy on the nightshades.
