It's no longer Greek to me

My name is Teresa and I have a Greek yogurt addiction.

Ever since I discovered halfway reasonably priced ($2.99/pint) nonfat G. yogurt at Trader Joe's, I've had to make a run to St. Louis Park at least every two weeks. The drive across town is horrible, TJ's is sometimes sold out, and it's embarassing to buy 12 pints of yogurt at a time.


I knew Greek yogurt was strained, so I decided to try making some from regular Old Home nonfat yogurt ($2.99/quart). I used clothespins to attach cheesecloth to the edges of a small bowl, added a serving of yogurt to the cheesecloth, and refrigerated. Lo and behold, my contraption allowed a copious amount of whey?/water? to drain into the catch-bowl and in about 6 hours, I had something with the look, texture, and taste of Greek yogurt!

That looks yummy. I'll have to try it. I'm a big yogurt fan and have heard good things about greek yogurt.
