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

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.

Where do you go to run at night?  I have to drive to town this time of year and it is such a deterrent, lol.

I mostly run the same roads I normally run but I avoid the busier ones. I usually only see a few cars since it's so rural where I live.

 I'm sure it's not quite as safe as during the day but people can definitely see me. I run with the Kogalla ultra trail light on a belt, it's nearly as bright as headlights on a vehicle. I just don't have time in the morning before work since I have to do farm chores and it's dark when I get home from work at 5 PM so if I want to run that's my only choice.

It can be interesting though. The other day when I did hill repeats someone came out to investigate what I was doing and someone else kept double locking their car (making it beep) lol

6 miles in the daylight. The light was a nice change from my now usual night runs but my legs were feeling last night's hill session.

Long run tomorrow!

Rio at 79 I keep it now at 10% of my age for the birthday run. Lol

If i can still run at 79 I think just that fact will be my gift!
