How to make yogurt with a lighbulb...

Homemade Yogurt

Scald 2L of milk (whole milk works best, but use whatever % you like). Stir frequently so you don't burn it to the bottom.

Cool entire pan in a sinkful of cold water, stirring until milk is lukewarm (like for rising yeast).

Stir in 2 teaspoons plain yogurt, mixing it in thoroughly. If you use a wisk, your yogurt at the end will be bubbly (like mousse, kind of). Using a spoon results in smoother yogurt.

Pour mixture into whatever containers will be most convenient to store in the fridge later on (old margarine or yogurt ones work well-- whatever you use make sure there are lids). Cover lightly. Place in the oven with LIGHT ON ONLY. If you put them on a cookie sheet it's easier to take out. note: if it spills all over the oven, it's a really sticky mess. Don't do this.

Leave in oven for 6 hours, or overnight. Next morning, or whenever the 6 hours are up, take out, cover, and put in the fridge to cool for about 4 hours (or until cooled all the way through).

The watery stuff that comes when you spoon out yogurt is the whey and can be saved for cooking. Also, if the yogurt for whatever reason doesn't turn out quite right, you can use it in baking as well. Just like buttermilk.

And that's it!

My mom bought me a yogurt maker thing 2 Christmases ago...we tried it 3 times, but no yogurt emerged! It came with these little packets of "starter" or something, that I guess was bad. I'll try your method as soon as I pick up some fresh yogurt at the store.

BTW Thanks so much for your encouragement. We left our comfortably Un-comfortable church, not because we didn't like the people or the "fruit" that was obviously happening as many baptisms are held each month for adults, but instead because we still felt we were not being fed and there were startlingly few who longed to know Christ intimately - beyond the surface. The sermons were self-help style with some obscure Scriptures thrown in to make it church. As I mentioned in my post, my kids had become critical of others style of worship. I feel heaven will be full of many "styles" - hands up and stiff bodied, dancers and prancers, rejoicers and weepers, quiet and loud. So, we are not really looking. We're enjoying our family time and keeping our hearts open to wherever God leads.
