Everything turned out very well.

Next time I may try aging the yogurt for seven hours instead of six. Regardless, it is still tasty.

The creme brulie took two and a half hours to set, instead of the ninty minutes listed in the recipie. I glazed the brulie with one heaping teaspoon of sprinked brown sugar. I think one table spoon may be better.

Granola was good. 8 cups of oats may be too much, so next time try 6.

Busy today...

Today I started making Yogurt, Creame Brulie and Granola.

The Yogurt and Creame Brulie are all day recipies. I'm half way through them now. I'll let you know how they turn out.

Yogurt... 4 cups milk, 2 tbsp honey, half cup powdered milk. Heat to 120. Cut off heat. When it's cooled to 115 or below, add one container yogurt with active cultures. Wrap in a heating pad and wait six hours.

Creame Brulie. Joy of Cooking's recipie with the 3 whole egg option. In the oven it took two and a half hours to set. The recipie says ninty minutes. I have to be extra careful with water baths-- remember the water will rise as you add the creme containers to it.

Granola. 8 cups of oats, half a cup canola oil, 2/3 cup honey mized with random nuts and grains until it looked right. Bake at 325 for 45 minutes, stiring every 15 minutes. I never follow a strict recipie when I make granola.

Changes

I'm changing this blog a little. I used to eat out often. But, for the past six months or so, I've started cooking at home much more. I'm also putting more effort into it and making good meals.

I'm going to start blogging about my cooking. Just so that I can remember.

Last night I made Chicken breasts wrapped in bacon and grilled on the BBQ. I used indirect heat with the indirect burners turned to medium. The breast took about 20 minutes. They turned out very good.

The rest of the meal was spaghetti with a cream sauce that I froze a while back. I added some vegi's to the mix and served.

I wish I could remember the details of the cream sauce. I think it's trick was using chicken stock instead of water.
