Comment on January Chemical Elimination: Dish Washing Soap by ashleynicolewillcox

I have had similar problems and have not found a good solution that works with our water. Unfortunately it seems like dishwashing soap is very particular based on water composition, etc. I have tried things like adding vinegar as a rinse aid, or pouring a cup into the bottom of the dishwasher before starting. Hope you find something that works!

I made the automatic dishwasher detergent and I put the vinegar in the rinse aide. We live in a place where the water is very hard. The dishes came out with a film on them. The plates not so bad but the cups and silverware felt gritty. Is there anything else I should be trying. I typically use the compacted detergent bars with the red centers. Let me know please. I make my own laundry soap and I love it.

Yes, I would let it ferment for 12 hours. It is still going to be much thinner than storebought yogurt, but it will be thicker if you let it incubate for 12 hours. Enjoy!

I just made a batch yesterday, my first! I relied a lot on my thermometer and while the final product tastes good ( I added vanilla and a little sugar) it’s still too thin. You could drink this through a straw, which I may do! I had let it ferment for 8 hrs. The top layer was firm, but the bottom of the pot was not. Do you think longer fermentation is the key? Thanks so much!

I am not sure exactly, but mine usually will last at least a month or more. Just look out for pink mold if it is bad:-)

How long does each batch of yogurt usually last?

Jeshuah, how COULD you be 3? Watching you and the other grandchildren grow is one of the biggest joys of my life!

Comment on GAPS Homemade Chocolate Chips (Grain-free, sugar-free, dairy-free) by Melissa

I made it tonight with a little more than half stick of butter, and about 2-3 tablespoons of coconut oil with about 1/3rd cup cocoa powder ,3 tablespoons honey..and added extra sea salt. It was VERY good, and I am now thinking of adding crushed up almonds! It tasted like a sea salt chocolate bar.

If dairy is not a problem, I would give it a try! Let me know if it works!
