Journal: Hibiscus

For maybe more than a year there’s a tab open on my phone — the first in a long cascading tile of tabs — with this cocktail using hibiscus called The Southern Tart. I think I left it there because I intended to make a note about it because I made some sort of cocktail with hibiscus-something-or-other — probably dried flowers steeped and cooled but I definitely don’t remember how or what now. I thought I might remember but I definitely for sure don’t. When hibiscus comes back into our lives again, maybe this link will help.

Now I can close the tab on the phone, freeing up top honors to “DIY All-Purpose Cleaning Solution” and eventually “Basic Ukulele Chords For Beginning Players.”

Journal: Yogurt

Salton yogurt maker: unused wedding gift until fairly recently (and under threat of being unloaded on Goodwill). Heat 32 ounces of milk up to 180-190 degrees (approximately seven minutes on the front left burner), then let cool to 100-110 degrees (approximately 45 minutes). Mix with 1/4 cup yogurt, then put in machine for 12 hours.
