Madness #16--my own dairy farm

So, making yogurt is easier than I realized.

Just follow these simple directions for your own tasty deliciousness:

Step 1: Fill your child's favorite sippy cup with whole milk.
Step 2: Watch as he inevitably drops it.
Step 3: Watch as it inevitably rolls under your furniture and ends up in a hard-to-reach place.
Step 4: Think to yourself, "I'll get it later".
Step 5: Wait a couple days.
Step 6: Do the dishes and wonder where that missing sippy cup ran off to.
Step 7: Invite friends over and watch their noses scrunch up in response to a sickening smell that you haven't realized is taking over your house.
Step 8: Put two and two together.
Step 9: Get on your hands and knees to retrieve the science experiment growing under your couch.
Step 10: Unscrew the sippy cup lid and try not to vomit.
Step 11: Voila! Your very own, home-grown yogurt.

Lucerne would be so proud.

  3. OMG! So hilarious. I love that I've been finding random cheerios under my furniture. I wonder what that will turn into.

  4. I almost gagged reading this. I can't wait.... yeah right. I am sure there will be all sorts of disgusting things lurking under my couch soon.
    PS - I didn't get to talk with you after church, but you looked AMAZING. You are one hot mamma!

  5. Well, Beck, you ALMOST had it. You only had 11 steps of a 12 step program. The first step, that you missed, is to admit you have a problem. LOL

  6. I can't tell you how many times I have done this. Only after three kids you have acquired so many sippy cups that you can be working on two or three yogurts without even knowing it. I guess having one in every room helps you stay prepared.
