SRS, we are glad you are improving. Do you use commercial or homemade yoghurt? We use about a tablespoon of Chobani Greek yoghurt as a starter. It comes in tubes and does not seem to go bad. Depending on how long you let it sit in your incubator [oven with the light on] before draining the whey off, you can set it for any firmness you like. 1/2 gallon of milk makes about a pint of really good stuff. We use the A1 or A2 whole milk for the best results.

Spring is upon us and we await a call from our friend who lives on the banks of the Delaware River. He has promised to call when the shad beginning running so we can catch our own. Pickled shad, slow broiled shad roe wrapped in bacon. [If broiling, watch for the bones as shad are a variety of herring] Now that's heavenly!

One thing about fishing is that it's one of the few social sports you can enjoy while maintaining a 2 meter distance between participants. [I prefer 2 meters to six feet because we are Ham radio operators.]
