Yummy Goats Milk Yoghurt
May 6th, 2009 § 1 Comment
Just found a yoghurt that’s rockin my world just now. Tangy but not too goaty for those who don’t like that sort of thing (I do but thought it’s worth mentioning.) Also beautiful texture, like creme caramel, without the caramel. (honey makes a nice substitute).
Some people find goats milk yoghurt easier to digest than cows milk.
Goats cheese is sublime too.
It’s great to see people like Caprino Farm in the Swan Valley making a go of it.
I found mine at Fresh Provisions in Mt Lawley.
Charmaine Dragun

Saw the most moving account on ABC TV’s Australian Story about Channel 10 newsreader Charmaine Dragun’s battle with depression and how that eventually resulted in her life being cut tragically short. It was incredibly courageous of her family and friends to share their account of what happened.
Their desire that it should help others is why I’m drawing your attention to it. If you have any concerns about a friend, loved one or colleague then perhaps you should watch this programme and/or contact a professional organisation like Beyond Blue for advice about what to do.
The tragedy of this awful condition is that just when someone most needs help, they’re either seemingly at their most confident, or at the other extreme, at their least lovable.

I love the serendipity of the internet. Some gorgeous musician friends of mine recently had a son who they named Louis. A quick youtube search led me to the following song by Faroese singer/songwriter, Teitur. It’s almost as if the song had been written especially for my friend’s son.
This one’s for you Louis!
