A few nice Organic Milk images I found:

Homemade yogurt with honey and blackberries

If you have a pot you can make yogurt. Bring a liter of organic milk to boil then reduce to simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool 30 minutes. Add a heaping tbsp of plain organic yogurt. Stir well. Cover pot with lid, wrap with towel or blanket and let sit six hours or over night. Refrigerate yogurt for 2 hours then serve. That’s it, no special equipment needed.

I like it because it is sweet and creamy and not tart and tangy. (I don’t like tart yogurt.) The consistency is also great for garlicky yogurt sauces or marinades. Flavor as you wish from sweet to savory.

San Francisco – Embarcadero: Ferry Building Marketplace – Cowgirl Creamery

Cowgirl Creamery was founded in Pt. Reyes Station, California in 1997 by Sue Conley and Peggy Smith. Using organic milk from the neighbor, Straus Family Creamery their mission was to make environmentally friendly, delicious, artisan cheese. Today they make just a small collection–four, soft aged and three fresh, totaling about 3,000 pounds per week. However, they have grown to distribute cheeses from over 200 of America’s and Europe’s most prized producers.

The San Francisco Ferry Building was built on the site of an earlier wooden ferry terminal at the head of Market Street along the Embarcadero in 1898. Designed by A. Page Brown who was killed in 1896, construction was overseen to completion by Edward Sain. The 660-foot long steel-framed building features a 245-foot-tall clock tower with four 22-foot diameter faces, modeled after La Giralda, the bell tower of Seville Cathedral, as a welcoming beacon on the Bay. Until the Bay Bridge opened in 1936, the Ferry Building was the Bay Area’s main transportation hub. At its peak, thousands of passengers and 170 ferryboats passed through daily.

Nearly demolished in the 1950′s, it was instead cast into further obscurity when the Embarcadero Freeway was built across its face. When damage rendered from 1989 earthquake provided the impetus for the freeway to be torn down in 1991, the ferry building was instead altered for use as the World Trade Center. A 2003 renovation restored the entrance pavilions and converted the passenger arcade into 65,000 square foot Marketplace along the central Nave. An additional 175,000 square feet of office space was created on the second and third floor.

The Kid’s Plate

Here at Chez Steph, the kid eats what we eat, most of the time. So I thought it might be nice to feature one of her plates. This is Asian salmon, with soba noodles and broccoli.
