Yoghurt cheese or spread
Place the muslin in a double layer over the bowl and secure around the rim with a rubber band. Spoon in the yoghurt. Place on a plate (the muslin takes up a lot of liquid). Stick it in the fridge. The length of time you leave it for is up to you. If you want it spread consistency a few hours will do it. If you want it thicker you can leave it overnight.
When it’s really thick you can roll it into balls, coat with herbs, paprika and the like and keep in good olive oil in the fridge.
You can use it to spread on bread (home made of course!!) then drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
You can use it in place of sour cream, make a dip – the uses are only limited by your imagination.
That’s even easier than making the yoghurt, right?
Could be Goldilocks?
The fairy queen?
This little one has a new dress with a wool felt cape and boots and is heading far away to her new home in the U.S.A tomorrow.
Make your own yoghurt
Put a lid on the jar. Wrap the jar with a towel and secure with rubber bands. You can fill another jar with hot water and lid it to keep the temperature in the esky more even if you like, I’ve found the yoghurt sets really well doing this.
Pop your jar/s in an esky and close the lid. Leave overnight (about 12 hours) then refrigerate. How easy is that?
Reserve some of your yoghurt for the next batch to use as the starter.
Next time I’ll show you how to make yoghurt cheese or spread! Mmmmmm!!!

Grissini and choc chip rolls
I had the idea of treating the children will these, but was a little let down by their response. Only 1 child liked them, I’m not sure why, but they were pretty dry. I feel like I still have to get to know my oven and it’s temperatures, I seem to slightly overbake things sometimes and they end up dry.
There are plenty of other recipes I want to try in this book, so I’ll be giving them a go over the next few days.

This one's a keeper!
Baby knot doll
I’m so loving this Hilco knit, it’s mighty expensive but gorgeous to sew with. I’d love to be able to afford to make the girls some clothes out of it one day, I know it would feel beautiful to wear. This little one is in my Etsy shop now.
Looking back over this week it’s a wonder I got anything done at all. The baby has chickenpox (making a good recovery now) and the other 3 came down with bad colds.
There has been a great deal of tomato harvesting and cooking, breadmaking, and a first time success with yoghurt making (I’ll share how soon). There has been homeschooling, piano lessons, Ash Wednesday, breastfeeding and piles of nappies and laundry.
And amongst all this I managed some sewing!!
My giveaway ends tomorrow, don’t forget!
Until then…………………
