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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
My birthday's not until the 17th, but thanks all the same.

Elections are tomorrow. Current mood: [link] (or, you know, 48 hours, since finalish results will be announced on Wednesday morning).

Our wings are not tired.
{{Shir}} I can only imagine how stressful it is based on reporting here.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I wish I could say it is. There is some degree of apathy/despair, and that is what stresses me - that people here do not appropriate democracy and basic rights, and cannot think of a future that does not only include war. Even if Netanyahu will not make it (and I doubt it), the alternative is someone who expressed the same views and beliefs as Netanyahu. So much for an alternative?
It was also discouraging to try to understand during the weekend to which minority party I want to vote. I wanted a party that has a strong representation of minorities and their interests, especially Arabs and women and LGBTQ folks, and has a social agenda (we need urgent funding of the health system). I also wanted to vote for a party with a basic understanding that there is a climate change and that we need to act on it, sooner rather than latter.
And you know, if I bring it down to only two wishes (doesn't really matter which two), there are solid 3-5 parties I can vote for. (There is only one party that answers all of my wishes but it never gets enough votes to enter the government, so I'm not gonna vote for it. It is still the same party if I give up on the climate change front).

My condolences on your loss, Laura.
I'm glad you had a good day with her, Matt. How is she doing overall?
She's doing okay. She's had an active social life lately, and is getting out for walks and thinking of joining a local exercise group of retired church ladies (which I think would be good in terms of getting out of the house and active even if the actual exercise isn't enough to build much stamina).
