Ummm... Yellowstone?

[djf]

Seems to be a cluster of quakes in Lake Yellowstone. I know, I know, these are not rare... something about it caught my eye!

First milk Evangeline the Cow....

Or you can use the milk from the store but it is not quite as good.

But do use whole milk.

Heat one gallon of milk to 170 degrees and let cool down to about 110. Remove any skin that formed. Add one container of Plain Icelandic Provisions Skyr and whisk to combine. Keep at 105 about for about five to six hours. Longer if you like a more sour flavor. You can go up to twelve hours but it will be pretty tart at that point.

Drain. Cheesecloth grade 90 in a strainer works best.

This stuff is VERY thick so it will take a long time to drain. I set it in the basement fridge overnight.

You will end up with about a quart of yogurt. Dump in mixer and whisk until smooth then add what ever flavoring you like. Keep about a half cup back for future yogurt making. A bit of honey, vanilla and lavender for me, husband choose honey and raspberries.

So good.

I remember lots of clever commercials; but I almost never remember the product they were advertising...

[MHGinTN]

Yes, He is that door. See you in the clouds

[Jamestown1630]

Well, it sounds good; but you have to start with Icelandic Yogurt, to make Icelandic yogurt?

I guess it’s like sourdough - they used to use one of the named, long-lived ones, carried on for decades...

(I seem to recall a ‘Henry’.)

[Jamestown1630]

I’m not expecting ‘clouds’.

I’m expecting more challenges and opportunities; more love, more tears, more suffering, more joy - and more growth.

Well, I’m expecting the Departure first, to take us to the Father’s House for the Bema Seat review, then the opening of the seven sealed scroll while we witness the wrath of the Lamb poured out of the unbelievers.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yep. Either that or you can get the cultures at a specialty shop. But getting a container of Icelandic Yogurt is cheaper and easier.

And you only need one to make yogurt forever.

Here is good commentary about the real situation at Yellowstone. And she’s pissed at USGS for not keeping the public better informed.

I was just having some we are dooomed fun...I don know what’s beyond but I truly believe that the fact that we have such a limited time to live is what gives life its value. I also believe that it gods door we walk through and we just cant process what’s on the other side of that door.

I remember watching some movie about this . . . .

[crz]

Any place along the rifts on the earths crust have volcanoes that are hazard.

But Yellowstone is on a hot spot. Not to say there are not such around the world, but few are as studied as Yellowstone.

Last I knew, they figured that there is not to much eruptable magma under there. It needs to be around a certain per cent to be considered a very high risk.

Take Tambora for example. That one blew several thousand feet off the top. Now that it happened, the next eruption many believe wont be much. Not so with the likes of the Long Valley Caldera. That one has a whole lot of magma under it and it. Way more than they thought before.
A caldera forms when several vents open up round the rim. They join up by cracks and after a lot of the magma is let out, the whole center collapses because the support is gone holding up the roof..so to speak.

Watch the movie Volcano..very accurate on how a super eruption happens.

Would you will me your tagline? It has a lot of class.

A Yellowstone eruption would be the end of the USA heartland very quickly. Cities in a few months (food, energy).

All of civilization would probably be done within a few years regardless. IIRC it would cause an “endless winter” with little sunlight for many years. Crops won’t grow, no food, wars for the food that is in storage, etc.

“a Yellowstone eruption would be the end of USA.”

Great, there goes my stamp collection!

I was in the Yellowstone Park most of today (7/16). My wife and I entered from West Yellowstone and traveled to Norris Geyser basin. We walked the south trail past Steamboat Geyser, Puff n Stuff, Echinus and other geysers. On finishing the loop we were too tired to trek north into the Porcelain Geyser field. It's pretty, but the climb back up is pretty steep. Steamboat had no water flow at all, just a few wisps of steam. The hillside was dry.

We continued east to Canyon, then turned south along the Yellowstone River. Lots of bison out today. As we reached the Lake, we headed west, then north toward Old Faithful. We didn't stop since we visited just 2 weeks ago.

From an on the ground perspective, it was just drier than usual. Many springs that were wet and active in prior visits over the last 20 years were just dry and dead now. In past years, there were abundant herds of elk on the inbound road from West Yellowstone to Madison Junction. Today, a single bison along that road. Some Canadian geese on the river banks and sand berms. Zero elk.

We didn't stop in town upon reaching West Yellowstone. Too many people on the streets.

Are you thinking of Buddy Hackett in it’s a mad mad mad world?

From the article: “ Luckily for us all, there is absolutely no reason to believe Yellowstone is about to pope”.

Freudian slip? Needing to pray?
