I having just barely missed being burned at the stake during the great

"Castor oil controversy will not comment on any religious topics except to

warn you there are those who will stone you to death if you ever mention a

sacred cow not in a glowing light!

Yeast is not a bacteria, it is in the mold family. Yes it can be grown

and made at home. Not as powerful as store bought but it works> Yogurt can

be cultured and made at home but I have never "kept a starter" but you can

pretty much start one with not too much trouble. I think I listed the

butter, milk, yogurt and yeast recipe about six months ago in a message on

how to use milk products. Covered canning milk making butter, yogurt, and

cottage cheese. I will have to look it up.

I noticed that in Mayapur they sell baked goods that were more than four

hours old every day. I only heard one person comment on it and the bakery

was very defensive about it!
