Busy Weekend II

Keigan and I turned our hand to making fresh yogurt, I remembered seeing the recipe in Laurels Kitchen It is extremely easy to do, now that we have a stove with a pilot light. Laurels Kitchen is a great cookbook, something we refer back to constantly, adapting the recipes to fit the ingredients we have on hand. Our Yogurt never fully solidified, but was the consistiency of Kifir, a yogurt drink. The boys were quite disapointed that it was not strawberry flavored from the start, but a spoonful of Jam changed that, though I dont think I have any converts to my yogurt. S and I tried it with a bit of real (canadian) maple syrup, that was a real treat, and I suspect our syrup stash will start to diminish quite rapidly.
Somehow the morning slipped away from us, while we cleaned house and organized our many belongings. We were told that 5 moves equals one fire, if that is the case we are moving wrong, as we have so much stuff that we are trying to cram into this house. Friends have told us that the house is quite large, which doesn’t help much, cause it means we are not getting rid of our extra stuff quick enough. Though we have started throwing out items that we carefully packed and now look at and wonder why. The hardware to a stereo cabinet we have not had for 10 years was succesfully thrown out. Anyway as I was saying the morning slipped away from us and I had to rush Keigan off to his volunteer work. This last year Keigan has been volunteering at an animal rescue facility, mainly injured birds. He has had a chance to feed Horned Owls, Screech Owls, Barn Owls, Bats, Kestrels, Red Tailed Hawks, Crows, Robins, turtles and a fox. This week because of the rain he sorted through meal worms (what a fun job).
