Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 i am posting this to several groups... last week i cleaned out my fridge. this is a rare occurance. way in the back, in a container, i faced something i had been avoiding since last spring when my raw milk farmer was forced out of business. my kefir. there was more than a little guilt attached to this act of irresponsibility! these grains were entrusted to me with much caring & i had dropped the ball. my partner had suffered a major breakdown which took all of my time & energy, i was depleted. many aspects of life had been put on hold for over a year! so it was with much dread that i retrieved them. i anticipated dumping the remains into my compost bucket & getting on with life. a major move is in the works. when i opened the container, it didn't look or smell as bad as i had anticipated. cautiously i tasted the clotted creamy residue clinging to the sides. hmmmm... yum! sour yes, but certainly not rotten. i scooped some grains out, and they were sturdier looking than i had imagined. how could this be? i swear they were so happy to see me! i had imagined a dead gloppy disintegration of mush. i strained off the kefir, did not rinse the grains, and added whole pasteurized milk. left it sitting on the table and by the next morning had a container of thick creamy kefir. WOW... pure magic. this restores my faith in nature! this was a week ago & i am so pleased to have my wonderful kefir back in my life. has anyone else had similar experiences? smooch hattie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
