May I ask, does anyone here make their own kefir? I’m taking goats milk kefir, but it’s relatively expensive.

Can’t plan a thing recently

Had unexpected trip to hospital last night, was in most of night. Now school has just phoned saying DD has been sick and needs collecting

JTS, sorry to hear of your hospital visit, hope you're Ok now.

I have been making kefir for about a year. I've tried goats milk, normal full fat cow's milk, semi skimmed and skimmed and my preference is full fat. When I started, when I strained off the kefir, I washed the seeds but now I don't bother. I love it on porridge with some fruit. If I have too much, I make a smoothie with it. Hope that helps. Enjoy! :T:T

Pah, thied to quite about the nicotine stains.
If you get stuck, try vinegar and baking soda solution.

Morning all hope everyone is well.

Good news day but it's a secret so no telling anyone. Ds2 passed his final 2 lorry tests this morning. So now has a lorry licence and it means he will get a proper contract with the council instead of a zero hours. So proud as never realised he had to do 5 tests and only had one fail which he passed on second try. Considering he is badly dyslexic I think he did really well. :T:T

Good morning everyone.



I made it my aunt years and years ago, but unfortunately she has passed away, so I have had it back, and she smoked a lot :rotfl: it is very heavy nicotined stained.

I will give it a go soaking it and using WUL.

Thanks

Be careful with water heat, and I recently ruined a huge shawl that was over 100 years old covered in embroidery flowers and birds, and totally beautiful but also had nicotine stains. I put it in what I thought was hand warm water and all the colours run, and I was gutted. Xx

It looks like it's been confirmed which M&S stores are closing think it was mentioned last year...B'mth and Durham on the list.
