Thanks for the info..I think? ? Really though, I know a lot of people say the same thing. But to be honest, since I've been eating a Ketogenic way of life, I don't have much bloating or gas. It's only when I have a few more carbs than I should I get a little gassy...which is very rare.
I figure it will be a couple of weeks at least before I see any kind of results. Thanks!
Yeah, making the yogurt wasn't hard at all really. I think where I went wrong with the first batch was that when I brought my milk/cream up to 180 degrees, I brought it back down to 110. Or so I thought it was 110. In all likelihood it was probably hotter and I killed the bacteria. This time around I let it cool to about 90 degrees and then added my slurry. Much better results. Next batch I'm going to try using a half gallon of half and half instead of whole milk.
I've been interested in many of the health benefits with fermented foods. Kombucha though...that seems very interesting.
Great shave and read Don. I'm looking forward to your final thoughts on that soap.
A friend of mine has been making his own kombucha for a while, and has been selling cultures for a while. I've considered it, since it costs very little to do it yourself as opposed to the ridiculous prices it goes for by the bottle, but could never bring myself to take the plunge on that one lol.

Great read Don
Thanks Dave!
I'm pretty proud of myself - I only ordered one. Truth be told, SWMBO would kill me if I bought more. ?
No shave today and I finished up my shaves for my Noble Otter reviews. I am however having video editing issues. I used to be pretty efficient with things. But some of the programs I was trying out did not want to cooperate. Usually what happens with me is I spend all day tinkering with something and by the end of the day I have mastered it and am fairly efficient. This was not the case. Anyway...I hope to resolve my issues and have something up in a day or two.
I have a lot going on this week at work...well...this month really. Plus got some potentially bad news for work. Our legislature is doing what legislatures often do...and that is nothing. This will be the third special session this year that they are going into and while they have passed a budget, they haven't decided on certain revenue expenditures and forms of new revenue. While this doesn't seem to be that big of a deal, if the "lawmakers" don't agree on something in the next couple of weeks, then it is quite possible that the state will start rolling out furloughs for many of the state workers...yup...that would include me. That would also mean no vacation time taken, no promotions, no pay increases and a host of other things. It's the furloughs that I am more concerned with...how many and for how long. It's just not a good thing. I like my job a lot, but it might be time to casually see what else is out there. If I can find something that suites my needs better, it might be worth looking into.
But then there is shaving...and you guys. It's a good thing one can come here and just enjoy the company of men and women who have a common purpose. Sorry to be downer today guys...I'll get back to my coffee and read some great things in your journals!

Sorry about the work troubles. I hope it blows over quickly. It’s nkt fun to have your livelihood messed with on someone else’s whim.
Don't stress over the video. Just try to have fun with it, like shaving. My bachelors was in computer graphics, there can be a lot of frustrations with software sometimes. If it’s not fun, do something simpler.

Hope things work out for you at work Don. Even if that means finding something else. I have an initial Zoom (like Skype) interview next Monday, and honestly, it has been over two decades since I interviewed for a job. Knowing that I am quite rusty, I'm not feeling uber confident.
