Muesli with yoghurt
------------------
Defanor has recently discovered the joy of muesli with yoghurt[1].
This was my breakfast of choice for many years, including the entire
time that I lived in New Zealand. Toward the end of that period, I
was making my own yoghurt (from milk using a crockpot or slow-cooker)
and my own muesli. I made the yoghurt because I like mine really
thick, and also because it actually saved me money (despite the fact
that dairy farming and export is one of the cornerstones of NZ's
entire national economy, dairy products in the supermarket are
expensive), as well as the simple fact that I like doing stuff myself.
I made my own muesli because I wanted a heavier emphasis on seeds,
nuts and berries, and because I lived closeby to a place that sold
that kind of thing in bulk.
Upon moving to Finland, I "downgraded" to just yoghurt by itself,
because I couldn't immediately find a good place to buy the
components in bulk and the stores nearest to the student flats we
stayed in when we first arrived had a poor range of pre-packaged
stuff. Without ever actually intending for it to happen, I just kind
of slipped into eating unadorned yoghurt as my default. It was only
the other weekend when I ate breakfast out at a cafe that I had really
good museli and yoghurt for the first time in a very long time, and it
made me miss it. Maybe I should take another look into sourcing the
stuff to make my own now that I know my way around better...
