"The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)

Yogurt

This is the Salton Yogurt Maker. It is a mainstay of my existence. I eat yogurt every day, so I make yogurt in this once or twice a week. Here is how I do it: I mix up 3 cups of warmish water with 2 cups of nonfat dry milk in a recycled 1 -quart yogurt container. I stir about 1/4 cup of plain yogurt into this, and then fill the container to the top with water. I then put the filled yogurt container into the yogurt maker and plug it in. Twelve hours later I take the container out and put it into the refrigerator. It is yummy and healthy and very inexpensive!
