Amazing Grace! Your writing is a masterpiece. It made me stick to my LT screen and didn't bore me reading all the issues that you had in Manila... not till the leg that you saw in the wheelbarrow, and so on leads me back to the terror of... ah, never mind. And oh, the yogurt... yes, the making of yogurt prevails. I didn't know how important and hard to make this thing for you but here in Japan, you can buy a yogurt machine. I was making this before. I just buy 1000ml of fresh milk in a tetra pack. I open the pack just enough to insert a tbsp. of fresh yogurt as a starter cultures then close again. Put it into a yogurt maker and leave it overnight or for 24 hours. The next morning a smooth and mild sweet yogurt is done. The texture is smooth and it has a heavenly taste as well.
