INSTANT POT YOGHURT RECIPE After sharing my IP yo INSTANT POT YOGHURT RECIPE After sharing my IP yoghurt this morning I got loads of requests for the recipe. So here it is. You will require 2 ingredients & press one button. Yields approx 1kg yoghurt. Process is for Duo. For Duo Crisp, go to pinned comment. INGREDIENTS - 1 litre full cream UHT milk (long life milk) - 2 Tbsp plain yoghurt with live cultures (your starter) The secret to this method is in the UHT milk. Because it has already been processed at a very high temperature, you don't need to do the whole heating and cooling process, and you don't need a thermometer. METHOD 1) Rinse your inner pot well with boiling water (to sterilise). 2) Mix the starter into a cup of milk until it is smooth with no lumps. 3) Add this mix to inner pot along with the rest of the milk. 4) Cover with glass lid or a plate just bigger than your pot, with a dishcloth or towel under the lid. 5) Press yoghurt button and set it for 8hrs (it will default to this) 6) Wait 8hrs 7) Test by shaking the inner pot slightly (it should jiggle or be solid) or inserting a teaspoon and see if it has right consistency. If it's too runny, let it go for another hour and repeat step 7 8) Take inner pot, with lid and dishcloth and place in fridge overnight or at least a few hours. It will thicken further 9) Decant into jars and store in fridge Keep 2 Tbsp aside to use as your next starter NOTES - The quality of your yoghurt will depend on the quality of your starter. I only ever buy Woolies yoghurt because theirs have live cultures & no added preservatives. Preservatives kill the cultures, so if it says live cultures and also has preservatives, you aren't getting much of the good gut stuff, which is also what your milk needs to incubate well. I used Woolies double cream yoghurt, it's what I had at home - The dishcloth under the lid is so that the condensation that builds up on the lid doesn't drip into your yoghurt - Don't stir or disturb the mixture while it is incubating. The cultures want to be left alone undisturbed - You can use skim or low fat milk also (but seriously...WHY?) - You can also just use one unit of those 6-pack small yoghurts as starter Happy yoghurt making!

Swimming, Biking, and Running into the Ironman Sou Swimming, Biking, and Running into the Ironman South Africa weekend? Is it your first time and and are you terrified about what to expect? Here's 10 tips to help get you through, based on my experience of 2 x IM 70.3 and 2 x full IM races under my belt. Head on over to the link in my bio, where I cover the following: 1 - The swim start takes a long time 2 - Self-seed appropriately 3 - Know the rules 4 - Pee in your wetsuit 5 - Have a nutrition & race plan 6 - Special needs 7 - Your greatest asset: a calm mind 8 - Transition 9 - Nothing new on race day: Test everything! 10- The finish And always remember...the most important thing is to enjoy the race. You do this for fun and you chose to do it, so have a blast out there! All the work is done in training, and race day is about the celebration. The work has been done. Only the celebration remains. #ironman #swimbikerun #racedaytips
Once upon a time... A long time ago (a little ove Once upon a time... A long time ago (a little over a decade ago) we used to run races with the Palestine flag, along with a few other individuals who did the same. At every race we were harassed by race officials to stop doing it, and eventually we were disqualified from races for continuing (incl. at Two Oceans). We deemed it unconstitutional, since nobody else had been DQ'd for running with any other national flag. So we took WPA and Two Oceans to the SA Human Rights Commission for discrimination, as individuals, amongst a sea of backlash from giant athletics bodies. Many thought we would fail. We didn't. It was ruled that runners cannot be disqualified for running with national flags, and all DQ's were overturned. Fast forward a few years and ASA creates rule 24.20.4 to counter this, making it illegal to run with flags with poles due to "safety concerns". Ok. You try to stop us by making it about the pole? We'll drop the pole. But we WILL raise the flag! "THEY TRIED TO BURY US. THEY DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE SEEDS" #freepalestine #fromtherivertothesea #twooceans2024 #halfmarathon #kennysisters #hijabirunners
PSA: I've found the secret to crispy airfried swee PSA: I've found the secret to crispy airfried sweet potato chips 😋 Because don't you hate the fact that it's always soft on the outside and never as good as the deep fried version? Well now it can be. After you massage it with olive oil (chips must be completely dry for this), toss with garlic powder before popping it into the airfyer. You can thank me later 😉 Don't slice them too thick. No need to peel them, just scrub the skins before slicing. SO delicious 🤤 #foodtips #rogiscooking
SINGAPORE - The Lion City You wanted a post about SINGAPORE - The Lion City You wanted a post about Singapore, but I couldn't fit it into an Insta post, so I did a whole blog post instead. It was a labour of love, so I hope you enjoy it. Here's what I cover: - Changi Airport - General tips and information - Hoods of Singapore - Getting around - Recommended places to see Hit me up if there's something you want to know that I didn't cover 😊 Link in bio! P.S. All my stories from the trip are in a highlight reel on my profile. #travel #Singapore #lioncity
RESIST. SPEAK. SHOW UP. Sometimes, it can even be RESIST. SPEAK. SHOW UP. Sometimes, it can even be words on beaches. The sand will bear witness to the tiny droplet of resistance and awareness. It will bear witness to the mighty cloth that touched it 🇵🇸 Because what can many many tiny droplets do when they work together? "I'm only one person", said 7 billion people. 1 - Sairee Beach, Koh Tao 2 - Patong Beach, Phuket ✊🏼🇵🇸🇹🇭🇿🇦
Some "during" pictures. This first pic was taken Some "during" pictures. This first pic was taken at the aid station. I don't usually go on my phone during a race, but I knew my family was worried about me so I checked if there are any messages and also to just to say that I am halfway and ok. I went on Insta and checked some stories (probably in search of dopamine at that point) and saw that Hadiya Nassar, the 79-yr old lady that went viral on the socials for saying that she is older than Israel, had been killed by an Occupation sniper the day before. It made me so upset, heartbroken and livid at the same time. HOW DARE THEY? And old and frail lady is now a threat too? I asked the photographer at the aid station to take the pic. I might be smiling, but I was sobbing inside. It was in that moment that I decided that I will finish that race no matter what, even if just to raise the flag at the finish. They can try to try to cage the people of truth, but we will fly the flag everywhere, and we will don the keffiyeh everywhere. Let's keep doing everything we can. #freefalasteen
Doi Inthanon Thailand by UTMB 2023 Usually, my po Doi Inthanon Thailand by UTMB 2023 Usually, my post-race posts would go into what the race was like, how I felt, the challenges, etc. But for this one, I can't. It is hard enough continuing with having a semi-normal life when there is a genocide happening and being allowed to happen in Gaza and other parts of Palestine. I had developed a slight medical condition the day before, and on the morning, it was worse. I didn't know if it would be safe for me to race with it. But I checked it with the race medics beforehand and they cleared me. I can't come on here and speak about how challenging it was, when the truth is that nothing compares to what literally millions are going through right now. I had all my limbs, I didn't have to worry about not having legs or feet. I had access to medical care, I wasn't going through anything life threatening, and I was running up a mountain because I chose to, not running away from bombs raining down on me because I had no choice to. If I didn't sleep well the night before it was because of a relatively minor issue and not due to not knowing whether I or my family would wake up the next morning. If I thought about running out of water, it was only until the aid station or the finish and not a case of not knowing when I will have water again. I left my country a few days before, without even a consideration of whether I would be allowed back when I choose to return, unlike the people Gaza. So anyway...my race summary is: I went, I ran, I finished. Here's some pictures of the finish ✊🏼🍉 #freefalasteen
