LIFE AT THE END OF A DIRT ROAD IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA

I am attempting to make milk kefir. This photo may mean something… or nothing to you. At this point in time, its sole purpose is to provide a visual for Wardeh, the teacher of my Cultured Dairy and Cheesemaking e-Course, and my classmates in that course. If you are in the "this means nothing to me" category, join me back here… right here on this post… at a later date when I'll have more to share of usefulness. It'll all make sense then. I am sure of it.

    Great photos! Thanks for posting them — it really helps to “see” what’s going on. I answered your post in the forum. We’ll get you on the right track!

    Thanks, Wardeh. I just knew you’d come to my rescue! What you suggested as the cause, and your solution, makes perfect sense. To make my search for the kefir grains a more pleasant task, I will pretend that I am sifting through sawdust looking for coins. That was a happy childhood activity at an annual picnic hosted by our community’s branch of the Minnesota State Highway Department, where my now deceased father was employed when I was growing up.
