Thought I'd drop a line. I really enjoy your food stories, especially the ones where you cook with your amazing solar oven! :-) Cloth in the markets there also look so interesting, and in vibrant colors. I can imagine why you bought a lot :-) Take care! /Joy Hi Esther! Thought I’d drop a line.

Cool! As for the yogurt, I must only use one towel, but that's fine because it seems to thrive in our yogurt cupboard... :-) Thanks for the trick, I'll keep that in mind. A friend of mine gave me one about making bread (1/3 liquid - any liquid + and 2/3 "dry") but I never had one about yogurt before.

Did you know the easy 'trick' that 1 cup of boiling water, 2 cups of tap water and 1 cup of milk powder will give you the right temp.? In winter here (when the tapwater is a bit colder) I would increase the boiled water a bit, in summer I decrease that amount. Testing it with your finger is what I do as well. And then it goes in 2 towels and a blanket in my cupboard. So funny that is is so similar. I lover reading your blog as so much reminds me of my childhood in Burkina and Cote d'Ivoire. Keep up the good work (i know your aunt and Dutch uncle)! Hi-my mother used to make this as well in Burkina and now I use her recipe here in Egypt.
