works for me: binder clips & yogurt

and now Suzanne has something to say about works for me

As you may recall, I make dairy products, yogurt, Crème Fraiche, cheese etc. One of my challenges has been keeping the thermometer from falling in. As I was making yogurt yesterday evening, my eyes fell upon a binder clip and it all clicked.

What do you do with creme fraische? I see it at the stores but never know what it's for?; September 20, 2008 at 3:16 PM
Suzanne said...: Shauna, we dip strawberries in it and eat it up. It is sorta like a cour cream but it doesn't curdle when heated, so it is perfect for stroganoff, etc.; September 20, 2008 at 3:17 PM
jeneflower said...: Great idea! I thought about making those kinds of things myself, but I have never done it. I admire you- it doesn't look easy!; September 20, 2008 at 3:18 PM
Suzanne said...: It is easy Jeneflower, otherwise I wouldn't be doing it.; September 20, 2008 at 3:18 PM

me! me! me!

Here I chatter about books, parenting, election 2008, recipes, teaching college writing, and the adventures of getting settled in with our two freshly (Fall 06) adopted school-age children from Russia. This blog is chapter two; chapter one is posted at Jamie & Suzanne go to Russia. I live in the City of Subdued Excitement, Cascadia, Land of the Free.

I am the wife of a man I call My Gift from a Generous God. I am mama to two lovely children, Dandy and Chickadee that became ours in September 2006 in a court-room in Siberia. I am the daughter of two people whom I love and admire. One of them, my dad, is a new (Dec 06) paraplegic.

In my previous life (B.C. - before children), I was a college English teacher, specializing in composition and ESL composition.
