a dip in tzatiki 🌊


TZATIKI, Greek: τζατζίκι). 
A simple cooling Grecian dip that elevates the dish it comes with. 
  • Perfect with grilled/fried meat of choice (poultry, fish, pork/beef). 
  • Even works well with any veggie stick - celery, carrots, cucumber. 
  • Hoorah for fellow snack-munch-bunch out there, this is great with chips and crackers too - more so for the hot/spicy/salty kind (snacks, I mean, yah? Well, also for the hot-headed🌩💢😠snacker. This dip can cool you down 🌨❅❆ , tellin ya').
It's very easy to prepare. One important ingredient is dill. This is not a usual herb used in my kitchen. But, mainly for the love of tzatiki, I make sure we always have a stock in the kitchen, be it fresh or dried.

🌿 Steps
2 cups plain yogurt, cooled
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
4 pressed/crushed garlic cloves
1/3 cup chopped dill
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
mix all in the dip bowl.
keep in fridge until ready to serve.
then, enjoy -- dip dip dip away!

Here's one. 🌶☼heat bye bye!🌬

My very 1st sip of miso soup was at the canteen of an all-ladies dorm during my very 1st work trip in beautiful Tamagawa prefecture. It was my 1st time away from my motherland, and 1st time to experience winter, at that. To say that I was in a state of culture shock is an understatement. I loved soft fluffy Japanese rice. The roasted flaky saba fish. Ramen noodles. Crunchy karaage. Not miso soup though. I hated miso soup. But that fateful cold night, I have just reached "home" from the 10-minutes trudge from work. A quick change to warmer clothes, I was immediately at the dinner table. The warm soup felt grudgingly comforting. The next spoonf...
