You Ate What...?

I just remembered that I was also supposed to do a thing on kefir, a drinkable yogurt, as a request of a friend. I typically do not drink anything more creamy than 2% milk, but I like a challenge obviously. Probably one of the healthier things I've had in my life Kefir is technically a fermented milk drink.

I liked the whipped kinds when I was younger, but they have been replaced by "thick and creamy" kinds which are almost more like custard than the honey-thick of typical yogurt. Look, honey in
