White Rice Varities
White Rice Varities White rice is the name given to milled rice that has had its husk, bran, and germ removed. This is done largely to prevent spoilage and to extend the storage life of the grain. After milling, the rice is polished, resulting in a seed with a bright, white, shiny appearance. The polishing process removes important nutrients. A diet based on unenriched white rice leaves people vulnerable to the neurological disease beriberi, due to a deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B1). White rice is often enriched with some of the nutrients stripped from it during its processing.[1] Enrichment of white rice with B1, B3, and iron is required by law in the United States. At various times, starting in the 19th century, brown rice and wild rice have been advocated as healthier alternatives.[2] The bran in brown rice contains significant dietary fiber and the germ contains many vitamins and minerals. (See whole grain.) As with all natural foods, the precise nutritional composition of rice varies slightly depending on the variety, soil conditions, environmental conditions and types of fertilizers.

Homemade Yogurt
Ingredients
½ gallon of Whole Milk
½ cup of Powdered Milk
1 container of Commercial Yogurt (yogurt from market that contains active cultures.)
Directions
Heat Milk: Heat ½ gallon of milk to 185 degrees F. Any type of milk will work, e.g. fat free, 2% or whole. This should take about 25 minutes in a 500 watt microwave. The temperature can be measured with a candy thermometer. Don't boil the milk.
Add Powdered Milk: Stir in ½ cup of powdered milk. The additional milk solids make the yogurt thicker.
Cool Milk: Let the milk cool to 115 degrees F or less. The yogurt does not seem as sour if you cool to 105 degrees. Once again, you can measure the temperature with a candy thermometer. This should take about an hour and a half at room temperature.
Add Culture: Add one container of commercial yogurt with active cultures. Vanilla or plain works bests. Other flavors will add color and flavor, though they will work too. We've been using the Safeway store brand, low fat and calorie vanilla.
Strain Mixture: Strain mixture with tea strainer to remove excess dry milk. Otherwise the excess dry milk will leave grit at the bottom of the bowl.
Incubate Culture: Cover with plastic wrap, and let sit at 105 to 115 degrees for 8 hours. If you turn your oven light on and set the bowl in the oven all night, this should work. Wrapping the bowl in a bath towel with a heating pad turned on low will also work. Don't let the temperature go over 115 degrees or the culture may be killed.
Cool: Place bowl in refrigerator. After a few hours the yogurt should be cool and ready to eat.
