I picked a lot of pea pods the other day, I think there will be a stir fry for supper tonight.

Dinner on Tuesday was large lima beans cooked with a meaty ham bone from the freezer. I added 1 Tbs. dried onion and 1 tsp. thyme, along with some black pepper after the beans were done. I removed the bone, cut off the meat and put it back in with the beans. I cooked brown rice separately, and I sauteed separately chopped orange bell pepper and celery in olive oil, then added kale and a little bit of turnip greens, along with more olive oil. I mixed it all together in the pot with the beans. I added 2 tsp. of cider vinegar to balance the greens. We have at least four more dinners from tonight's meal.

I made my "Every Six Days" batch of yogurt on Wednesday.

I use a candy thermometer for the temperature of the milk. I have to bring it to between 112-120F and keep it there for ten minutes in the first step of the process. The markings are coming off of the candy thermometer, which I clip to the side. Does anyone have a suggestion of a thermometer that would not have these issues, and that I could leave in the milk while heating it and for the ten minutes of keeping it at temperature?

I recently bought a Thermoworks ChefAlarm to replace my CDN candy thermometer. Like many digital thermometers, it has a clip that allows the probe to hang on the side of your pan without touching the bottom. (And it came in purple.)

I've used it a few times for cooked sugar candies.

It comes in a nice pouch that makes it easy to store in a drawer without the cord getting all tangled up.

I love my ChefAlarm (mine's green). I use it for everything - the pot clip is useful. I even use it to manage my cooking in my fast slow cooker.

cwcdesign, regarding use in your slow cooker: Does the ChefAlarm probe fit into the meat to let you know when the meat is done?

I have a problem with my new slow cooker in that it cooks meat faster. I don't like removing the lid to check temp with Thermapen, because the cooker takes a while to get back up to temperature.
