    I buy Chobani, Hy-Vee or Oikos (Dannpn) depending on price. I mostly buy
    the "fruit on the bottom" except when I find the raspberry-chocolate is available. That variety sells out quickly. I'm hoping their bean-counters will wake up and stoick it in larger quantity. Soon.

    A 5 oz container of whatever is in the icebox makes a nice (and healty) snack. And keeps my stomach from growling.

    I'm not a chobani fan. Not sure why. It 'tasts funny'? I like
    Activia but overall not too much into yogurt other than frozen.
    I do use plain yogurt in some recipes though.

    I've not noticed that. But, then, I seldom do "plain" yoghurt. If I do
    use plain yoghurt it's probably going to be as an ingredient.

    Title: Garlic-Chive Mashed Potatoes
    Categories: Potatoes, Dairy, Herbs
    Yield: 4 Servings

    4 1/2 c Potatoes; peeled, cubed
    6 lg Garlic cloves; peeled
    2/3 c Milk or cream
    +=OR=+
    2/3 c Chicken broth
    1/2 c Plain yogurt
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 c Chopped fresh chives
    Whole chives; opt, garnish

    Place cubed potatoes and garlic in large saucepan and
    cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer
    15 minutes or until tender; drain well.

    Return potato and garlic to saucepan. Add liquid,
    yogurt and salt; beat at medium speed of an electric
    mixer until mixture is smooth. Add chopped chives and
    stir well.

    Garnish with whole chives, if desired

    UDD Notes: I use a "ricer" to mash the tatties and the
    garlic. Then whip the mix with a fork or a whisk.

    Hi Shawn,

    We've done similar, and still don't have a 4 legged Hoover, on
    doctor's orders. He said we could have a dog or cat OR I could
    breath. No brainer choice. (G)

    I work with a women who's doctor said that too. She has 3 cats and
    2 dogs. Suffers for it horribly but said Life isn't worth living
    without her pets.

    I thought I was able to tolerate one animal but even had trouble then. I
    was able to take having pets when I was growing up but they were
    indoor/outdoor so not around all the time. Got married and all our pets
    were indoor, gradually wearing down my resistance so I was not doing
    well when we got to Hawaii. Had a good pulmonology doctor there who
    "laid down the law". Found out just how bad I was last year when we
    visited our younger daughter; she has about 6 each, cats and dogs. Came
    back to the camper the second night with a nasty attack, met her and
    boys the next day at a neutral site.


    Now that our two owners passed away leaving us our freedom we
    are not in the market for another cat EVER, and would only consider
    a dog after retired.

    Our older daughter's dog passed away a few years ago; she said "no
    more". This spring she adopted another one, just the other day brought a
    2nd one home. She has 2 cats, son brought home a 3rd (kitten) a couple
    of months ago. Glad we don't have the pet food bills our girls do. (G)

    Oh yeah! LOL I can't believe how much more money we have without
    our old girl cat. Having said that I miss her quite a bit.

    I felt really bad too, had a few moments when I could hardly catch my
    breath.

    I know the feeling; I still look around for our cocker spaniel and miss
    having Jenny-cat in my lap. Sam (cocker spaniel) and the first kitten
    we had when we were just married both enjoyed popcorn. Kitten wouldn't
    leave Steve alone until he'd given her a handful, Sam mooched a piece
    here, another one there, etc. We had an air popper when we had him; he
    knew the sound of it firing up and would wait patiently, watching it, in
    the kitchen until he got his share.

    Our two ate popcorn as well. Ruby more so then Mikey, he would
    eat one or two just because he didn't want Ruby to get them all, but
    you could tell she liked it more.

    She was as bad as the Grandson. "Papa, are you making popcorn?"
    he asks at midnight when he's supposed to be asleep. LOL

    We made popcorn early enough in the evening that our girls were able to
    get some before going to bed. Both the dog and cat wanted their share
    and more--cat would get a handful and eat it, then kept pestering Steve
    until he gave her some more. Sam (dog) would just sit there staring at
    you with those big brown cocker spaniel eyes.......(G)
