A little colder and in the mid 40°s, but dry today for a 3 mile hilly tempo run.

40 minutes on the treadmill, then weights.

Slowly but surely it's coming back.  Feeling lighter on my feet, heart rate is lowering, can extend the run durations.

I might get there yet.

Awesome! It's wild how long it takes to get back into it but you can definitely feel that it's true once you get there.

5.1 miles and strides. My left knee is starting to feel this higher mileage, I'm glad I'm starting to taper for my big race next week.

Finished the Christmas decorations (almost), put on the snow tires, went grocery shopping, then out for a run. 11.6K

This thread is now making me think about making yogurt. I haven't done it in ages!

Tell me more.

When I make homemade yogurt I don't drain it because I don't like the idea of the waste.  But this sounds like a use for that liquid?

it's been a while since I've done it, so you might want to do a bit of verification research, but essentially: mix some yogurt whey into whipping cream, let it sit on the counter to culture (like a few hours to a day), churn it to butter (choose your own adventure: stand mixer, shake it in a jar, convince children to shake it in a jar, get an actual butter churn), drain off the butter milk and use that for all your buttermilk needs, press wash the butter and press all the liquid out, Bob's your uncle.

you can use yogurt whey to culture homemade mayonnaise too... increases still-good-to-use life by a good bit

you can also use yogurt whey in place of water in baking or for marinating meat... or other ways you might use buttermilk... but if you are making buttermilk, well it's better IMO tan yogurt whey for all those things.

I've done it using liquid drained from yogurt, but never with kefir grains. It had a good tang to it, not as good as the stuff I've had in Europe, but not bad.

Related, I have not had any luck making kefir, but I think getting decent grains through the mail is my problem.

I'm not familiar with cultured butter. What is the thinking behind using this instead of regular butter? Taste difference?

it tastes different (better, IMO, but not everyone likes tangy butter), also extends shelf life




also, culturing the cream means you end up with cultured buttermilk as well as cultured butter... and cultured buttermilk is way better than fresh buttermilk
