Please, I have come to value the advice here, and I want to purchase two
items that I know little about. May I have some advice for the purchase
of, and the best place to online shop for these two things?

1. I'd like to try making my own, so I want to buy a yogurt maker, as
well as whatever products I will need. As to products, the only thing I
do know is that I'll want fruit and "crunchies" in the yogurt.

2. My always best friend and ex-husband is having his retirement home
built in Mexico, which he will be moving into by the coming March '05.
He tells that ground meats are not to be bought there, so I'd like to
buy him an electric meat grinder that is capable of up to a likely 10
lb. run per use.

What to look for, and where? What sort of costs to expect?

In appreciation and expectation....
