Thanks. My husband's getting overwhelmed with the gadgets I want but he knows that overall we're eating so well. We ate well before but not it's gone up a level.I really wanted the vitamix for my birthday but maybe I'll go for the excalibur. My kids are loving the yogurt too so my little maker is too small now. I just NEED the excalibur. <big grin>If I use mason jars, can I use the metal covers?michelleTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Mon, April 12, 2010 3:31:04 PMSubject: Re: yogurt in excaliber

I use a 2 liter "batter bowl". It's a glass bowl with a spout and a thick plastic lid. I use whole mil, half and half, cream or a combo of those. I would never use powdered milk. You can also use the quart sized mason jars. Just figure out how many will fit before you measure your milk.

I don't know how I went so long before getting mine.

,Yes, it is fine to use metal covers on the mason jars to make yogurt. The excalibur is fantastically flexible. I made nearly 7 liters of yogurt the other day by using various glass and stainless steel containers. I used cooling racks on top of the containers to make a support and just stacked them up (I don't have covers for the glass containers, just plastic wrap). Now I just need a bigger fridge and freezer! ; )AmeliaFrom:

My walmart carries the plastic tops for mason jars and the box of several of

them is about $2.00. Katy

Marilyn,Not a whole house generator, but most likely one for the kitchen. They usually only last about an hour or so each day. I just need to make sure any fridge/freezer has a rating where it will stay cold for several hours if the power is cut. Funny, but even washing machines in India are built so that when power returns, it knows to turn itself back on! ; )AmeliaFrom: Wizop Marilyn L. Alm

Oops! I reread my post and I mean to say the POWER OUTAGES only last about an hour each day! ; ) Actually I feel like a bit of a fraud. Living in New Delhi won't be much different than anywhere else. You still have to get used to the driving and the roads, you still have to learn where to find everything you need, you still have disagreeable weather sometimes, and life still goes on --school run, appointments, afterschool activities, homework, shopping, etc. I will actually have a better life in many ways because I will have a driver to fight the traffic, I will have a live-in who does the cooking/grocery shopping/cleaning/laundry, and if the house is large enough, a gardener. And since I love company and guidance while I do things, having someone teach me different

cooking tips and a gardener to help me with what I want to do ... well it is the next best thing to having one's wise parents around! ; ) I really am looking forward to it. I have to admit, though, having a live-in maid is probably going to be the biggest adjustment of all. I am not at all experienced with having servants!Yes, it will be adventure! ; )AmeliaP.S. We move this summer after a short break in the US. Hey! Would you have any tips on transporting dogs via air?To: BTVC-SCD Sent: Thu, April 15, 2010 12:20:27 AMSubject: Re: Re: yogurt in excaliber

Absolutely!

We are hearing about the Iceland volcano explosion, and airports being

shut down. Hope all is OK in your area (and anyone else in the

affected areas.)

I don't know about dogs traveling by air. I'll see if I can find any

information on it.

"We are hearing about the Iceland volcano explosion"I got a frantic email from my husband's blackberry asking what an Icelandic Volcano eruption had to do with flights from New Delhi India. I hadn't heard so went looking, and sure enough, there is a flight ban for the entire UK today and most likely tomorrow as well. We couldn't tell on the surface, but up at cruising altitude there was apparently massive amounts of volcanic ash making it's way down the UK and over to Europe. Scandinavia is to get the worst I hear.Flights are now so full that he is having trouble getting home. Managed to book something for Saturday, but if he had stuck with his original carrier he would have had to wait until Monday!AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Thu, April 15, 2010 7:55:03 PMSubject: Re: Re: yogurt in excaliber

Yeah, wonder if it is a big enough volcano so that the entire summer willbe colder than normal - as has happened in the past.
