Cards Against Humanity is not about winning. Unless I win, which I totally did the other day. I'll see y'all in hell. (It was a ton of fun though. Good tabletop games with the right people can be so great.)

By the way, does anyone happen to have a good recipe for tzatziki? I've been failing to find a good one in stores that can get close to the ones I had in Greece.

I make bomb tzatziki.

The trick is to use whole fat yogurt. No part skim lowfat nonsense.

Lots of garlic. A LOT.

Grate your cucumber, dont chop it. Drain it super well, even going as far as using a clean dish towel to remove liquid.

The rest of it you kind of just have to tune to your own taste. I'm not the biggest fan of dill so I don't use a lot of it.

I once followed a recipe where I used salt to drain the cucumber. Turned out quite well. Then again I love salt.

It's a technique you can use.

I have a hard limit on sodium so I rely on a solid grate and lots of pressure to drain mine.

    Grate your cucumber, dont chop it. Drain it super well, even going as far as using a clean dish towel to remove liquid.

And make sure you hold on to as much of the drained-off liquid as you can! Add some lemon juice to make the taste a little bit more bearable, and you have the single most refreshing (if kind of disgusting) drink I've ever had.

I just bought chips for poker. I'm trying to teach my wife and kids how to play. For the kids it's a great way to learn math and some critical thinking skills. They already, intrinsically know how to lie. For my wife and I it's just fun.

When I left Austin, I took photos of every recipe from the Greek place I worked at there, but I lost them somewhere in a file system 2-3 phones back :'(

If they ever turn up, I'll forward you our tzatziki :)
