1. Heat Milk to 85°C (185°F) for 30 minutes to prepare it for fermentation.
2. Cool milk to 43°C (110°F) (optimal for fermentation).
3. Add a few spoons of Stonyfield plain yogurt.
4. Keep roughly around 43°C (110°F) for 7 hours.

Scrambled eggs cooked in bacon grease.

I have a serious sugar addiction problem. It has concerned cathijosephine a lot. I don't know how anybody manages to consume it in quantities that aren't unhealthy. I saw something that suggested classifying refined sugars as poisons because they displace foods that contain nutrients in diets.

My current list of evil foods:

• Refined / added sugars.
• Refined grains (white flour, white rice).
• Fruit juice (refined sugar)
• White potatoes.

"Sugar sweetened beverages" are particularly evil.

Part of this process was google searching for sugar depression.

The paleo diet is neat (just meat, veggies, and fruits), although I'm not sure about its exclusion of whole grains. An inconvenience that occurred to me last night is that I don't think canned fruit is available in plain water. The blood type diets are interesting (different diet for each blood type), although for me it basically just points back to the paleo diet.

The raw meat diet fascinates me, but I don't really want to spend that much money on meat of sufficient quality.

Update: Apparently all rice has a high Glycemic Index, so I'm going to try to stop eating it.

Costco doesn't sell fifty pound bags of pinto beans either!

Mix 1 part water, 2 parts sugar. Cook on high until it just starts to turn brown. Pour into ice bath. Wait 30 seconds or so (to avoid burning yourself) and remove.

I was aiming for softball, but this was still awesome.
