Here in SF, I can get Strauss milk in returnable glass bottles, thereby reducing my personal plastic consumption. I would factor in the energy that I would personally use in my home to make this yogurt, but I feel like that would be minimal compared with the overall life cycle of a plastic container of yogurt. <br />
<br />
I met a woman at an SF Green Film Festival event who gave me this recipe. It sounds very easy, and I am going to try it out!<br />
<div>
<br />
Here is the yogurt recipe. The overall idea is to make sure that the milk is the right temperature. Too cold and the bacteria won't grow, too hot and it will kill the bacteria. In my experience, too hot is far more of an issue. If you have a warm place other than your oven (on top of a heating vent in your house?) it doesn't need to be done in the oven. It's just finding a way to keep it warm for the 8 hours.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ingredients: </div>
<div>
1 gallon milk<br />
3 TB from 1 container yogurt (once you start, you can use last week's yogurt)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Heat milk to a boil, turn off immediately. - Allow to cool (usually takes around 1 hour) until you can hold your pinky finger in the milk for 10 seconds (it shouldn't be painful). - Stir in the yogurt - Divide into glass jars (I use big pickle jars, etc; make sure they're clean first) - Put in oven for 8 hours or overnight with pilot light on. If it's not warm in your oven, turn the oven on low until it heats up and then turn off (you can do this throughout the 8 hours, but in my experience, it doesn't need to be done a lot). You want the oven to be around 112 degrees, but it isn't an exact science. - After 8 hours, check that the yogurt has formed. If you leave longer, it will become more sour (just depends on how you like it). You can now move to the fridge!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To make greek yogurt, strain the yogurt in cheese cloth for 1 hour - 2 hours... the longer you strain the thicker it will be. </div>

Sounds of laughter, shades of life<br />
Are ringing through my opened ears<br />
Inciting and inviting me.<br />
Limitless undying love, which<br />
Shines around me like a million suns,<br />
It calls me on and on across the universe<br />

It was also the year I started doing Ashtanga yoga on a regular basis. While my other friends were running marathons and pushing to the extremes at the gym or elsewhere, I learned the concept of <i>ahisma</i> - non-violence toward yourself. This concept led me into directions I never before considered. It led me to self-acceptance and compassion toward others. It led me to the idea that through breathing, I could get through any difficult situation. </br></br>
And now, 13 years later, I can present this short film I edited for an organization called <a href="http://yogahope.org/">yogaHOPE</a>. It is a film about women in Haiti who have experienced sexual abuse and trauma, and are learning to heal through yoga and meditation. Please watch this film, and if it moves you, please consider making a year-end donation to <a href="http://yogahope.org/">yogaHOPE</a>.</br></br>

I will be presenting a work-in-progress that I'm calling <i>Voyage</i> at <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/thegreatgrandfatherclub">Story Vault</a> - The <a href="http://greatgrandfatherclub.wordpress.com/">Great Grandfather Club</a> - tomorrow night, Saturday, June 16th in San Francisco.</br></br>
<i>Voyage</i> shows how older and younger generations connect through the retelling of stories. World travelers perceive the world in a way that you can only get when you leave it all behind to plant your feet down in a foreign land. This is an experience that the narrator of this project and I share.</br></br>
Louis Gourmeau is an octogenarian from Brittany, France. He is a World War II veteran, our dear family friend, and a natural storyteller.</br></br>
I first met Louis when I was an exchange student living in France in the 1990s. My great-aunt and cousins encouraged me to meet him, and when I did, I knew they were not mistaken.</br></br>
Louis loved telling his stories about how he met my great-uncle during World War II, and how he then found his way to New York where he met the love of his life at the Air France counter on Fifth Avenue.</br></br>
It wasn’t until recently that I thought about documenting Louis’ storytelling. Regretfully, I planned my trip to France too late, as his wonderful wife, Jeanine passed away in October 2011. So I knew that I had to quickly travel to France to capture his oral histories. </br></br>
In January 2012, I spent over a week in Louis’ country home in Provence filming his stories of World War II, New York in the 1940s, Fifth Avenue, love-at-first-sight, and anecdotes of my very large and eccentric Irish-American family. Feeling devastated and alone by the loss of his wife, Louis came alive again by reliving his happiest moments.</br></br>
Listening to his stories, I realized how our lives are similar, how I met close friends and created memories when I lived abroad. I remembered that we are all on a similar journey. By listening to Louis’ life, I understood that one day I, too, will be looking back on life, trying to reconnect with its meaning, just like him.</br></br>

It is easy to make the connection between Brian Willson and Iraq War Vet for Peace Scott Olsen of Occupy Oakland, who was knocked unconscious during a police raid on October 25th. It is very ironic that both Brian and Scott came home from fighting in wars on foreign soil with no physical injuries and were consequently brutally injured while practicing their democratic freedoms at home.Kristin Tiechehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10847043996015177460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566549353480755664.post-33988113202940850162011-12-06T19:58:00.000-08:002011-12-08T11:38:05.248-08:00excerpt from my short story, Bad FaithThat night I dreamt I was with him. We were in a strange city at night, maybe Florence, walking hand-in-hand down cobblestone streets. He led me down a narrow passageway that was lined with marble statues of naked Romanesque women. There were so many of them that I started feeling unsettled by the thought of having to compete with these stone beauties. Morris stopped at one in particular. Gazing at her, he said to me, “You are my favorite.” It was a statue of a young woman, draping a sheet of billowing fabric over her front side, her back exposed and naked, save for the long curls of hair that hung there loosely. He reached up and fondly touched the curve in her lower back, the part that merged into her plump bottom. “Isn’t she exquisite?” he asked. And then he leaned down and gently kissed my lips. I awoke, flushed, still tasting the flavor of Morris’s lips on mine, floating in an ethereal space high above my body. It took a few seconds for me to come down, back to my bed and the emptiness of my bland bedroom.Kristin Tiechehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10847043996015177460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566549353480755664.post-42692790260944375982011-11-16T23:38:00.000-08:002011-11-16T23:39:21.755-08:00The Kiss<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/32250229?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="500" height="375" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen allowFullScreen></iframe><br /><br />I went on a walk last weekend, and serendipitously, these were the two things that I filmed.
