Someone gave me a really easy way to make yogurt quite some time ago and I don't remember what community it was in or even who gave me the recipe. Anyway, I've done everything they said to do, but then I couldn't remember how long to let the yogurt sit to cure. I looked it up online and the recipes I'm finding seem to be all more complicated and are about how to cure your yogurt in the fridge.

Here's what I did:

- Poured milk in saucepan and heat until just before it begins to bubble, then remove from heat
- pour into mason jar
- let stand with cover over it until it is warm to the touch, but not uncomfortable to hold
- add spoonful of live culture yogurt and stir
- wrap in bubble wrap and a towel and place in a box out of the way

I'm not sure how long it needs to sit there, though. I don't want to take it out and check it because I read that messing with it causes the thickening process to take longer.

How long do I leave it in there?

...and I make plenty of mistakes [userpic]

uhmmm, peoples: now that Supernatural is on TNT, does anyone know if it's only seasons 1-4 or if in like July or whatever it will show Season 5, too?

I've tried Google, and I'm still not quite sure how hem tape works. I want to use it to attach a zipper to a bag I've just crocheted. As far as I can tell, I put the tape on the zipper and cloth for the zipper, and then I iron the hem tape. Is that right, or do I need to still sew everything as well? Or do I (quite possibly) have the wrong type of sewing tape?

In case it wasn't absolutely obvious, I do not generally sew.

Thanks in advance for your help!

How long do you let go by between the time your little one(s) get up from their nap before you put them down for the night? A couple hours? More than a couple? My kids (2&3) have taken a later nap today despite getting up early, and I'm pondering whether or not to stick to their bedtime routine that I usually would be starting around 715-30ish...what do you guys think/do?

My son is 6 months old.

There is an indoor swim club in the same shopping plaza as my day care center that offers baby swim classes.

Has anyone done these? Are they worthwhile, or should I wait until he's older?

Some background on us: My husband and I don't really swim; it's partially a bathingsuit/body image issue, and partially a never-learned-how issue. We don't have a pool, but we have access to some community pools through our home owner's association.

Shame we didn't get to find out about it in the comic book.

The original link was to Buffyfest but Comic Book Resources has far more info.

I always enjoy making puppets. Perhaps it's the kid in me who never grew up. I secretly wanted to get lost on Sesame Street and stay there. In fact, my mom used to wake me up as a child with a Kermit puppet so I imagine that's why I'm drawn to making toys that have a bit more life in them.

The more puppets I make for Starwars.com, the more I realize that at some point I need to put on a puppet show. Maybe like Punch & Princess Leia? Perhaps if I can get enough of you to make Star Wars puppets, we can do a flash mob puppet show at Comic-Con? Who's in?

Either way, I hope you crafty kids, Star Wars fans and amateur puppeteers out there have fun with my latest craft!

And, since when is Supernatural on TNT? And are the current eps online anywhere? (most shows are either on Fancast or Hulu or the network sites but is Supernatural?)

edit: why is my Myspace in German (or maybe it's Danish) Scratch that, it's in Norwegian, which would be less odd if I weren't also a large part Norwegian--now I just have to figure out changing it back....
