Laura says:

I was glad to see your call for ideas to reuse stuff that would otherwise be wasted, because it's something that makes environmental good sense as well as economic good sense!

I make my own yogurt at home. I really like the thick Greek-style yogurt that's made by draining a lot of the whey out of regular yogurt. If you throw away the whey, it's pretty wasteful, but I've found a great use for the whey I strain out of my yogurt. I also like to bake my own bread, and my basic recipe calls for four cups of water for four one-pound loaves. I've found that by using the whey from my yogurt-making instead of plain water, I'm increasing the nutrients in the bread, as well as giving it a wonderful sourdough-like tang. It also keeps me from wasting all that good whey.

Here's a picture of today's batch of yogurt draining in a Chinois.

And here's a picture of some of the drained whey with a loaf of bread I baked using the whey from the last yogurt batch.

Hmmm…well most of the waste savings knowledge I have came from my Grandma who grew up during The Depression. She saved all the peelings from carrots, potatoes, celery tops, onion skins, and eggs shells (any kind of organic waste)..…for compost for the garden. Her homegrown tomatos were the best ever.

I always got inspired by the trips and thanks to Laura for providing some kitchen based inspiration. I am thinking of trying out this recipe. When I got to know that she is including bread recipe then I am pretty sure that I will follow it soon. I need to write some recipe papers and go online to read my assignment help review which helped me in choosing the right writing help for me to avoid wasting my time.
