I made my own yogurt.

Yeah!  I finally made the yogurt.  I was nervous it wouldn't work, nervous it would be acidic, nervous it wouldn't get firm, everything!  I didn't even have a thermometer.  I researched the science behind it and got out my crockpot and used some Dannon vanilla-lime and didn't even add an ounce of sugar.  It didn't firm up very well at first so I tenderly carried the swaddled crockpot up to my attic for a couple of hours and voila!  It was made and we ate it almost all up in one sitting.  Some we added a bit of honey and then I added some jam, just a bit... It was great.  The other jar is whey.  You know, like from "Little Miss Muffet", eating her curds and whey.  I am right now also on an endeavor to make perpetual soup.  It is going to help me with meals during the week.  I can't wait to taste it and use it.  I am saying bye-bye to all store bought broth.  I am learning how to use a whole chicken and, get this AND we even ate liver the other day and yes, we loved it.  The kids, not so much, but I am going to keep up on it.  Next we will look into chickens and goats, just kidding everyone.  Well, maybe not.  Happy living is great!
