"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)

Whey Away

Thanks to Anna at her lovely blog, I have been going Greek lately with my yogurt.
I make the yogurt my usual way.
Then I put a coffee-filter in a colander, and place the colander in a bowl to catch the whey that drips off, and gently pour the yogurt into the colander. It begins to filter off the whey immediately, and in a few hours the colander is laden with very thick, creamy yogurt.

I also get lots of whey, which I have been storing in a glass jar in my refrigerator.

Today, I used the whey in place of sour milk in my crunchy wheat cereal recipe. It worked!
