I did a lot of cooking last night. I made:

1. Shrimp fettucine alfredo (from a Hungry Girl recipe, but with more shrimp)
2. Acorn squash (steamed in the microwave) with fresh home-grown sage and garlic
3. Salad with romaine, grape tomatoes, and onions
4. Some of my homemade yogurt with vanilla and Splenda, mixed with blackberries and Fiber One. Not cooking, but still.
5. Roasted pork tenderloin with Chinese five spice powder and Thai fish sauce
6. Pickled carrot matchsticks and cucumber slices

The first four were my dinner and dessert. The last two were for my potluck contribution of banh mi. By the way, let me just say that it is impossible to find whole-grain grinder rolls or mini-baguettes ANYWHERE. Grr.

I also watched some Doctor Who and had a nice shower. I got to bed at a reasonable hour last night, which was good.

Tonight, I see how my half-assed low-fat banh mi tastes. Tomorrow...pierceheart comes home! Early! :D We may go see a property or two with our agent. If not, well, we'll relax. Friday night I'm seeing zzbottom. Saturday is the first full day of summer! Yay!

I'd love to learn how to make my own yogurt! I think it's a matter of waiting, mostly? Maybe we'll have you over sometime when you're not too booked up and have a yogurt lesson (and of course some Who or whatever)?

I'm still ironing out the kinks. :) This was my first successful batch. I'm thinking about adding some powdered nonfat milk to the next one to thicken it a bit. I do have starter, though, that I can share!

I found this video and instructions (http://v.mercola.com/blogs/public_blog/how-to-make-organic-yogurt-8528.aspx) in my email inbox, since I subscribe to Dr. Mercola's site. (Not sure what to make of him: sometimes he sounds like a zealot nutjob.)
