I like making THM chocolate shakes with the okra and using it in soup (it's fantastic in chili and all the mucilage offsets some of the stomach upset that can happen with chili...).
Cheesy...yep, that was a scintillating description. If we're going to do live food tasting as a thing, we should start brainstorming ways to accurately describe what we're eating. I'm just concerned Ben's going to start doing Chopped-level weird food. Next up: chocolate covered locusts or something like that. Ack!
The big concern I've had with the Instant Pot yogurt is that the milk would get flavored by garlic and onion from the rubber seal. Do you use a different seal or has this just not been a problem? Right now I use a 1-gallon Pyrex covered bowl with a heating pad and a bath towel. I've thought about using a Wonder Cooker (like a pillowcase filled with styrofoam beads) too.
Lol...we are so far from being ready for homesteading it's sometimes embarrassing. I'm a pretty proficient canner since I've been doing it since I was little, but there are a LOT of other skills we need. We keep plugging away and eventually when our kids are at a better age we might be in a stronger position to consider getting different property.
It was fun! Thanks for watching. :-)
Our instant pot lid smells like chili, but our yogurt never has had any flavor to it. Since it doesn't seal or pressurize, I wonder if that keeps the smells from getting into it. I'm not sure. My husband said we should start doing beans and chili in the regular pressure cooker and reserve the IP for yogurt. Lol. I like the trying new food segments on your videos. It would be kind of hard to describe some stuff, I'm sure! ;) We have land to do some homesteading, but no time or green thumbs. All of our thumbs are pretty well brown.... ;) Shakes with okra sounds interesting and so does chili! I have really only had it fried or pickled. I had this favorite pickled kind in Texas...one pregnancy I craved it. I would be in trouble if I had that craving here!
Hm, well, maybe I should give it a try then! I have all the stuff for the next batch of yogurt.
Here's a link to the shake - not sure if you can get the ingredients, but I actually enjoy it even with the okra!

I'm not sure if we're going to keep food tasting or just do it when we have something interesting...personally, I wonder if eating on video should be done every single week -grin-
Maybe next week we should do the chocolate dreamy shake without telling Ben about the okra...
Yeah, definitely hard to find a few of the ingredients, but it sure looks tasty!
