Okay, old post, but: Learning from making a mistake

What I learned here: Milk from a cow MUST BE BOILED ON THE FIRST DAY!!

Here is milk I tried to boil 2 days after receiving it. It was all stringy and thick and after being boiled I got cheese stuff and sour water?? Ergo! Boil milk from cow on first day!!! even refrigerated!!

Another thing I learned too with milk: do not put vanilla extract in milk when trying to make yogurt (refer to older entry about yogurt making). I did that...in my attempt to make vanilla tasting yogurt, and after 1 1/2 days, I still had milk...and no yogurt.
Fortunately, I decided to immediately boil the stuff (1/2 already boiled milk, 1/2 pure from the cow milk, and vanilla extract) and I ended up with perfect vanilla tasting milk. I think I killed all the bacteria with the alcohol in the extract.















Here is my knee when I SLAPPEd the mosquito While it was sucking my blood. I killed it in action and it was very satisfying....unfortunately I think I made the mosquito panic and inject or not inject what was normal. From now on: lesson learned: let the mosquitoes do their business and deal with the problem afterwords.

That thing lasted a few days longer than the normal bite. It's gone now...but I've got these bedbug bites to deal with instead.

Who wins a metal for most eaten? In Romania? which is in Europe, which is not Africa? Who'd a thought there was such a mosquito threat here?!
