Posted by Jen - 25/07/10 at 03:07:00 am- @trauman On upside, the Posterous v. Tumblr debate is good case study for undergrad Business Writing students. #
- @trauman I so wish that @posterous had Tumblr's design sense. Getting better w/ downloadable themes at posterize.us but can't touch Tumblr. #
- I recc'd @posterous also to a 501c3 yesterday. Needed easy to learn/comment-enabled/cell-friendly blog platform that autoposts 2 Facebook Pg #
- @betajames That's good to hear! I have recommended @posterous to teaching colleagues and they all loved the simplicity. #
- @wordpress is my ultimate fave, but as discussed @ #dmac2010, wordpress also problematic for OSU classroom blogging.
# - @trauman I heart Tumblr for MY blogging but no comments=teaching prob. If I ask students to use @posterous, have to put $ where mouth is #
- Experimenting with using @posterous as my main blogging platform instead of just the content pusher. Wordpress, have I found a new suitor? #
- Using up my homemade yogurt: recipes that aren't just smoothies and sour cream http://post.ly/oQN3 #
- RT @cnnbrk: USDA employee says Obama administration pressured her to resign. http://on.cnn.com/9p3VOl [to go with last tweet] #
- RT @cnnbrk: USDA employee resigns over statements about white farmer http://on.cnn.com/9p3VOl [Good read, reports "other side" of the story] #
- Am looking for one especially for homework reading, single document location where multiple students can leave comments/notes/questions. #
- Tech peeps: what's ur pick for collaborative document markup for teaching/writing class? Revizr? Annotate? Voicethread? #
- PS, horsepeople: just ordered horsehair fly whisk for $25 from 123tack.com. Really good price for non-synthetic variety. #
- Am I the only person who refuses to "like" or "fan" s.t. on Facebook just to get free stuff? I love free stuff, but I love privacy too. #
- RT @coolcatteacher: kindlefeeder.com – RSS and Atom Feed For Your Amazon Kindle http://bit.ly/bGSyMJ [OMG for 1st time ever, I want Kindle.] #

Using up my homemade yogurt: recipes that aren’t just smoothies and sour cream
Posted by Jen - 23/07/10 at 04:07:42 amThanks to CrockPot365, I’ve become
increasingly addicted to making homemade yogurt in the crock pot. There’s only two people in our house, so it’s not unusual to have
a quarter or half gallon of milk that’s a few days from going bad, and
making it into yogurt saves me from throwing it away. But this week I
got carried away and made an entire GALLON of yogurt, so I’m looking
for new and novel ways to use it up.
Thank goodness for the Allrecipes.com ingredients search. I culled
these from the top-rated recipes that contained yogurt. Ideas I’m
gathering from Allrecipes:
Biscuits (notice the link in this recipe for a homemade biscuit mix)
Fruit Salad —they specify strawberry or lemon yogurt but I’m thinking it would
work with homemade yogurt + lemon juice and/or honey
Cornbread Pasta that’s creamy but lighter than something with a cheese sauces Put it in Baba Ganoush and Creamy Hummus Yogurt cheese, a good substitute for cream cheese
And while we’re talking yogurt cheese, you can use that to make
CHEESECAKE
And if you’re gonna make cheesecake, might as well use more yogurt
for the Graham Cracker Crust Drool. I think I’ll start with the pasta and the cheesecake!
