There are many recipes in Jamie Oliver's Great Britain that I'd like to try, but this one sounded so good and easy, and I had the two ingredients required on hand to make homemade yogurt--milk and some yogurt or "starter"--so I quickly mixed some up this morning. I've made yogurt in my yogurt maker numerous times, but I liked the idea of mixing it up in a bowl and just letting it sit and become yogurt, fresh and homemade, without using a machine of any sort. It's a very simple recipe (I think this is how my grandmother made yogurt), and I hope Jamie doesn't mind if I highlight it here. Basically, I just added four heaping tablespoons of yogurt to 2% milk that I'd heated up slowly to a simmer. I let the milk cool a bit and then I mixed in the starter (since I have a yogurt maker thermometer, I used that to make sure the time was right). I'll leave this bowl out to "incubate" until I go to sleep tonight, then I'll put it in the refrigerator. Tomorrow morning, I'll try a dollop or two of this yogurt on top of my oatmeal.

Although I don't get a ton of books in the mail each week, Mailbox Monday is one of my all-time favorite memes. Originally created by Marcia from The Printed Page, Mailbox Monday has been on tour for the past couple of years, and I'm honored to be the host for the month of December. I hope you'll join me as we share our new books during the holiday season.
