another dish I love using yoghurt.

sprinkle moroccan seasonin on lamb fillets leave to marinate.

Dice up pumpkin - bake in oven till tender - sprinkle with sesame seeds for last few minutes of cooking.  You can also toast some pine nuts , or just use some pistachios (untoasted)

cook up couscous - whe cooked add finely chopped red onion, green capsicum and dried apricot.

Dressing - about 1 cup nat yoghurt with about 2/3 tsp minced garlic and 2/3 tsp cumin  - mix well

Pan fry lamb fillets till tender

plate up with baby spinach topped with couscous, then lamb, then pumpkin and nuts and dress with yoghurt dressing.

Don't worry it will last far beyond Tuesday. It is probably good for another month. Just apply the smell  test.

LOL....I live by your rules Gert

Well maybe not  maddy. You might not want to come to my house as If it grows red mould  I might   incorporate it  into a  chili dip. There are good moulds and not so good moulds.  I do not drink milk but I always have it in the house for visitors. I usually buy the full strength  milk from the local dairy which is quite expensive and when it goes sour I use it in lots of things like scalloped potatoes or maybe a salad dressing among other things.

Passed it's used by date is not in my vocabulary. My dad was one of nine brought up during the US depression years and he taught me a lot about waste. On the other hand I learned a lot because of him and that was not to be mean. Life is all about balance and sometimes taking  risks. I have never been sick eating month old yogurt.

Think about the cheese you buy from a wheel in a deli. No date on that. I won't eat a Brie until it is runny and usually way past it's best  before date.  The French know something about that!

Living in the tropics is a challenge in itself as you can watch the mould grow on store brought bread. Two days and it is turning blue and hairy. I love blue mould but only in cheese.

my yoghurt always goes wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over the use by date - never had a problem with it - as Gert said you can tell by the smell

[gertbysea]

Not to mention the sour cream auds. I always remove the red  mould before serving . If it is blue mould I just might hesitate but not for long. Lol!

[Meagan]

There is no use by date on my yoghurt because I make my own lol

[gertbysea]

Right on Meagan.!

[fundj&e]

i have made bread using  yoghurt instead of the water if i find the recipe i will post it, and like Meagan i would/have  use it in smoothies and have frozen it

I don't think I've seen red mould  You must have iron guts Gretch  My DH has, and any food that is slightly past its useby date I tell him he can eat it. He would never know the difference, and would never get sick.

Years ago just before lunch time I cleaned the kettle with CLR, and left it on the bench. DH comes home for lunch and makes himself a cup of coffee. (I am elsewhere in the house) I walk into the room and see him drinking away and  ask him if he emptied the kettle at all? No. Ho hum, he ran to the sink to spit out a mouthful of coffee - he's still here, and we're still married but he is definitely suspicious that I was trying to poison him  but he can basically ingest anything as well
