From Kefir to Cheese and Fermented Vegie
I had been making milk kefir for nearly 5 years and water kefir recently. The only converts from my badge of kefir are my parents and my sisters, besides that, not many people I know want to venture into kefir making even with its huge list of benefits.

So one day, a stray dog kept coming to our house and we tried to domesticate it. Without our parents’ permission, we fed the dog so that it wouldn’t leave and kept coming back.
