Perfect weather for yard sale scrounging today! I found the ideal yard sale, too. They had piles of vintage and antique kitchen items that they were giving away for 5 and 10 cents! I got two enamelware dishpans, two pizza pans, two cookie sheets, two oil lamps with no chimneys, a bottle opener, a flour sifter, a juice squeezer, a meat grinder, and a pastry edger all for $6. At another yard sale I picked up two loaf pans and two chimneys for the oil lamps for $2.50. At a third yard sale, I found a video of "Into the Woods" and a huge wax candle for a dollar, and at a fourth Mom found a solid pine shelving unit for the basement for $2. Unreal. God is so good to us. Mom then had to go swap cars with Dad to pick up the shelves, and was given a 22lb bag of pork chops by the SOM. We're having roast pork tonight, and we'll try making sausage with our new meat grinder!
I tried my hand at yogurt making the other day - easy! All you do is heat milk until little bubbles form at the edge of the pan, stir in a little extra powdered milk for thickness, allow to cool, then add two tbsp of live active yogurt. Set in a jar in a warm place for 4 - 6 hours, and voila! I also stirred in a tbsp of Jell-o powder to give some extra flavor, and it could really use some more sugar. But it works!

For yogurt, you don't even have to add powdered milk. You can use a cloth to strain out some whey to thicken it. The whey has all sorts of great uses from baking to preserving to watering acid loving plants!
