Buying
yogurt here is a pain. If you want fat-free, day-glo pink or green
yogurt with artificial fruit, as much sugar as a regular coke and
enough preservatives to last 6 months, the choices are endless. If you
want full-fat, plain, unsweetened yogurt with no preservatives or
additives, choices are slim and sometimes, none.
I can get the yogurt I like at the weekly organic feria - as long as I'm there early and the supplier has more than 6 liters of yogurt. Often, I'm not quick enough and I get zip. Also, the yogurt is made from goat's milk and, while I like it, I like the milder cow's milk for certain recipes.
So,
I have to decide if I'm going to have my husband pick one up in Miami.
I'll order it and have it sent to my mom, I can't make T pick one
out, the only thing he wants to do in Miami is eat a cheeseburger and buy a new 'Canes t-shirt.
If you have a yogurt maker, how often do you use yours? Any brand to recommend? Anything I need to know?
However, if you know where I can buy some plain, full-fat, unsweetened, Greek-style yogurt somewhere in the San José area, let me know and I can just forget all this. Every time I bring home a new kitchen appliance, I have to hear T's speech about how I got rid of his juicer and the run-down of all the wonderful things his juicer did and I have to listen without rolling my eyes and saying anything mean and, honestly, it gets tougher every time.
