Day 3:

Well, people, the yogurt turned out perfectly!  I continue to be amazed at this whole follow-a-recipe-and-it-makes-edible-food thing.  I used a mixture of 1% and powdered milk, and an existing cup of raspberry yogurt that we had on hand, and couldn't taste any rasperry in the final product at all.  It's just plain, white yogurt.  For my daughter's breakfast this morning, I decided to create a customized cup of yogurt along with her eggs and toast (homemade bread), and added a little home-canned huckleberry syrup.  This was not the wisest choice, as stirring it into the yogurt made it all watery.  So, I did the only right thing to do in that moment and ate it all by myself.  (Is this a good time to mention that dairy does not agree with me?  Today should be interesting.)  I then tried adding honey straight from the squirty bear, but no matter how much I stirred, it remained stuck to the spoon.  Being the nice, sacrificing parent that I am, I just ate all the honey off the spoon and tried again.  Adding vanilla and brown sugar worked okay, although the vanilla made it too watery.  (I'm still debating whether by pouring in pure vanilla I just made alcoholic yogurt for my 16 year old.)  Nicole's assessment: "Grandma's yogurt doesn't look like this."  *sigh*  We'll work on it.  As far as texture for the whole batch goes though, I am very impressed.
