So I know the majority of you are probably up to your ears in Greek food and have already started to ingest as much American food as you can now, but for those of you missing Greece, this could be a comfort.
I actually just make Tzatziki from the recipe I got from the Back to Nature store. It came out amazing even though I had to substitute lime juice for a lemon due to my boyfriend's lack of citrus products in his fridge (lime for the Coronas). Anyway here is the recipe:
1 Cup Strained Yoghurt (Fage is a good brand you can buy, or you can buy plain yoghurt and strain it yourself in paper coffee strainers)
1 Cucumber cut in small thin pieces (I suggest the smaller cucumber at the store and not the industrial family size)
1 tablespoon of olive oil
4-5 drops lemon juice
Mixed spices of Garlic, Dill Weed, and Salt. For an extra kick you can add Black Pepper and/or Paprika. The amount is to your liking.
Mix all of them together.
Yeah...simple huh? I thought there was some magic potion to making this. So I would just get my fill in Egypt and that Turkish/Greek restaurant in Freeport. Apparently, I could have been making it the entire time.
So anyway, there it is. Once you come down off of the American food high and start missing Greece, you now can bring Greece to your belly.

"For was I not to visit a high school which would lead me into the midst of the ancient world and the enchantment of Africa for which as a school boy I had been an enthusiast? If all the same, I had and still have no other aspirations than to be and remain a modest schoolmaster, a desire founded essentially on the joy and satisfaction that calling gives me, the satisfaction is double because as a young man I had the advantage of these valuable experiences." - J.C.
