A little followup

I must be on butter overload as I was underwhelmed by all my attempts at Creole/Cajun weekend cooking.  While my butter-soaked and blackened tilapia filet was very good (and I would do this again), the sauce was meh and the crabmeat I bought had to be scrapped off.  Now one would think, what with me living in Maryland and all, that I could get good crabmeat.  Well, apparently, one would be wrong.  Sorry.

Thanks all for the yogurt tips.  I think I will leave it to culture a little longer next time and maybe add some non-fat dry milk and see if that will make it a little thicker.  The method I'm using doesn't involve any jars or other containers and simple is my plan, so that's next.  But really, I'm not sure it matters much to me.  While it's not a firm as purchased (and I could add geletin but eliminiating extra ingredients was part of the plan) it is so good the way it is.  I've stopped adding any honey or other sweeteners and just dump in my granola - it has enough sugar to sweeten the pot - so to speak.  And I think I'll leave out the brown sugar from that next time.  Less sugar is good.

And sorry, no to the sprouting.  I'm not a big soy fan, nor a sprout fan.  But, rest assureed, that if I WAS a fan of soy sprouts, there would be a jar of them on my counter.  Maybe alfalfa.....

I did make it up my sewing room for a few minutes.  Put the pockets into a pair of slacks and then realized the spool of Gutterman black thread I bought because my machine dislikes C&C black is really navy.  Very dark navy, but navy.  I'm leaving the top stitching at the pockets according to the 5' rule.  I punted for the weekend, though when my serger decided to break the thread instead of playing nicely.  It's in timeout. 

And I caught up on Mad Men.  I own seasons 1-4 and rewatched them to be ready for season 5.  The 2 hour season 5 premiere was last Sunday - I was in New Orleans and slept through it completely.  I caught it on "On Demand" (best invention since the automatic garage door opener - puts sliced bread to shame).  I will probably watch last nights episode tonight.  No way I can make it to 11pm on a school night, mom.
