Brand new yogurts yea!!!

Hello all, I hope everyone had a wonderful relaxing spring break. I know the last time I blogged before spring break I said I had a game plan which I did. However once I got into the lab on Monday I was stopped in my tracks due to all my yogurts and dairy products being out of date (expired). I had to make a shopping list of all eleven dairy products for Matt. It took a few days but Matt came through with a whole bunch of yogurts and dairy products. To be precise he came through with eighteen yogurts/dairy products; the refrigerator is full to the max. I have to wait until next week to dive into all these new products I cannot wait to start. With that many products I will be dividing them up into five groups; below are pictures of the groups I have divided them up in.

Time to take a break and recharge

I don’t know about all of you but I am very glad that next week is spring break. I plan on spending my getting caught up/head on homework, getting caught up on house hold chores I have been putting off and taking the time to really relax so I can come back recharge ready to hit the ground running. Since next week I won’t be in the lab I took time this week to wrap up what I was working on which was trying to get a count of growth from the yogurts I am working with. Out of the eleven products of yogurt I’m working with I only successfully got four of the products to where I can actually count the number of growth. Everything else has come back either blank, contaminated, or too numerous to count. I cleaned out the incubator of all my trails and error plate and made more TSA media so when I come back I can jump right into what I need to do. I also came up with a list of what I have to work on still and with any luck I can get most of that list finish the week we come back from spring break. Well I hope you all have a great and safe spring break see you all when we get back.
