what to do with failed yogurt? Question and Answer


 Powered by Max Banner Ads 

Question: I should’ve known better. I have been making yogurt for several months now but, for some stupid reason, decided to try a different yogurt for a starter. Well, it totally flopped – 2 gallons worth of raw milk wasted. =( What can I use this for so it’s not a total waste? I does taste pretty tart. I was going to use it in my mac and cheese tonight but was afraid I’d ruin that too. Ideas?

Answer: You could make smoothies?, also I think it would be delicious in macaroni and cheese! You could try a smaller amount first, then add more if it doesn’t taste too tart. I’ve used tart yogurt for sour cream and it works great. Maybe you could freeze it in smaller amounts and then unfreeze for anything you’d use for yogurt or sour cream?

Mexico – Quesilla recipe hmmm sooooo good better then quesidilla :D

Do not confuse this with the quesidilla, that’s totally different. This is usually made with Mexican string cheese known as Oaxacan. It’s similar in texture and color to mozzarella, but tastes a bit saltier. If you can’t find it, use any string cheese.

1 hard roll
butter
1 slice of ham
1/2 cup shredded cheese
1 fresh or pickled jalapeno
onion slices tomato slices
avocado slices

Half the roll and assemble the sandwich with the listed ingredients. Melt about 1 tbsp. of butter in a heavy skillet over low heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet while pressing down with a spatula or another skillet. Heat about 30 seconds on each side until the cheese has softened but not quite melted. This can also be heated over a backyard barbecue. Serves 1.

Did your password expire yesterday? (AIDS and HIV)

Now ask God these questions, and see if you get a signal:

Do I intend to cure everything?

Do I intend for others to?

Or think up something new, and carry it out.

We can make this happen. Express your intention in every way you’re able to,and as completely as possible, perpetually.

I’ll tell you a little story:

I had a friend and student back in the ’80s named Bob Zemske. He was one of the first people to get HIV. Be the first kid on your block, right? Back then the company I worked with offered an ongoing series of seminars called the Life Games, which used some of the participants as teachers; ZemBob, as we called him, was one of them. ZemBob taught “Emptying Relationship Of Content” with two other people, a fashion model named Susan Crosby and John, a young, handsome district attorney. I remember that these two married a while after they taught that Life Game together. Now, fashion models are tall, and so was the D.A., and ZemBob was short. We had a photo of the three of them on the poster, and they looked so cute together that the Life Game filled up in a week — there were no more seats. ZemBob was just a lovable person.

He had substantial wealth. Plus, when he was ill he got disability. And he gave everything he owned to AIDS research and, as he was dying, lived on a shoestring and also donated that disability money to AIDS research. He knew that no cure would come in time to save him — he was too far gone. But he wouldn’t stop fighting.

I talked to ZemBob a few days before he died and he told me that. And he didn’t ask me for anything, but I heard an unspoken message. ZemBob was asking me to fight, too. I didn’t promise him anything, not out loud, anyway, but inside of me I made a vow.

The CureDrive is partially an expression of that vow I made. And we can thank Bob – ZemBob – for that.

Do you have a person who lives on in your heart?

The push behind statins – our fight getting closer to a win

Today I received a very interesting letter from a health care professional that I know and is in general practice. Quote the
dragon: “I now get daily reminders from many insurers about the need to use Statins for patients with Type 2 diabetes or anyone diagnosed with type 2. Many of these daily reminders include the name of the (insured) patient with a questionnaire as to why I have not yet prescribed statin therapy.

The inference is that not doing so can be considered negligent and can cause a reduction in payment from the insurance company”. He included one of the forms, happens to be from Next Rx and it goes into all the studies that claim that Statins reduce CVD in diabetics and then goes on to address the dosage protocols.

We have known this to be the case for years, but finally here it is in writing from a truly concerned professional.
