The riots in London and some of our cities has saddened and angered us both in equal measure. To escape the siren pull of the news, CC and I took advantage of the wonderful sunshine and went for a lovely walk around Fairy Steps. It is such a beautiful place with its ancient woodlands and stunning limestone scenery. On the domestic front we tried to make homemade yoghurt in a soup flask yesterday and failed miserably, just ended up with lumpy milk. I think the soup flask can’t maintain the constant 45 C temperature we need. Has anybody got any suggestions ?, I’m not thrilled about the idea of leaving my oven on for 24 hours!
I use an Easiyo yoghurt maker, but just make the yoghurt from scratch rather than using their sachets. I have also heard of people wrapping their soup thermos up in an insulating blanket of some kind…

I have made yoghurt successfully by placing a glass container with the would be yoghurt in an oven which had been pre-warmed to about 80C, switching it off after a few minutes and leaving the jar in the oven overnight. I was amazed to discover that the oven was still just warm – and the yoghurt set!
