So I don't know where I've been for the past three years.

Okay Sofia, Bulgaria.

But apparently I've been living under a rock.

Somehow until last night I'd never had homemade yogurt.

Sure I've eaten lots of store bought yogurt. Heck I've had so much that I know which brands in the store that I prefer.  I've eaten really thick creamy yogurt in traditional Bulgarian restaurants.

But not until last night did I finally eat homemade yogurt.

I wasn't really sure what to expect. I got the jar of yogurt and a jar of really-thick yogurt from a colleague at work who knew that I like both yogurt and honey.  I guess that her father has bees and her step-mother makes yogurt.

I got the yogurt and honey home and thought: Oh, no, what if I can't get the jars open?! The yogurt opened up pretty easily but the honey look a little bit more work.

Then I stood in my kitchen eating yogurt by the spoonful straight from the jar and alternating ever few bites with honey.

Luckily, I didn't eat it all last night.

Hello, breakfast!!

Oh and for the record, while writing this post I got so pumped up about yogurt that I looked up how to make yogurt at home. Then I realized that I don't make yogurt at home because it's a question of money and time. It's not so expensive and requires a lot less time to buy at the store than to make.
