Yup all by me onesy. Until next wed eve it's just me and Pinkers. I've been going through a lot of netflix, I'll have you know. Mostly chick flicks that J would never want to watch. Pinky's been moping a lot, following me around, and being very cuddly

Cucumber sorbet? Interesting. Do you have an ice cream machine or something?
Heh, you feeling like baking is much more than me feeling like baking. Hmmm, should I mix up a box of brownie mix? Nah, it'll make the house too hot...Nah, I won't be up that long... hehehe.
I was supposed to make tzatziki - we have falafel makings. But then I used the cucumber when we ate sorta asian foods.
Tzatziki and fries does sound good. God, that word is a bitch to type.
How you getting around to work and stuff? Funny, that was Mike's first question when he heard Jason was going all Euro.

No ice cream maker, I just stir it all up by hand every hour or so. Makes the texture more like granita than sorbet, really. Which is why I haven't tried proper ice cream yet. I made a strawberries and cream sorbet that was awesome tasty and I've got mango and cream and mango lime in the freezer now, but I haven't had the urge to eat it

Heh, yeah... I didn't think getting to work would be an issue. It's not winter. Unless it is just too godawful hot. I forgot about catching a bus as an option. Ugh, I caught the bus a couple of times when I was at my mom's. It was horrid. A 10 minute drive - nearly an hour and a half bus ride.
I'm more concerned that you are baking goodies with no one to eat them. That's sad (I want some), and fattening (I still want some). Hehe.
*thinking real hard* How often have you been alone? I've never lived alone - never dormed for longer than a month. Ha, most of my alone time was while I was housesitting.
Poor Pinker-nator. (Strange, why am I thinking latex and bunny ears now.)
You get to see the abandonment pouts without traveling!
When's Pinky's full-time daddy come home? Heh, Jason is the at-home-dog-pa.

Believe or not, I would say the bus system in Hawaii is def better than here. Way better. The only thing good about this bus system is that it runs until 2am or so and starts back up around 5, but since that doesn't impact me, I still like the Hawaii system better. I think it's got better interconnectedness of getting from one bus to another or one part of town to another

15-16 oz greek strained yogurt (if using regular yogurt, strain for a few hours) 2 cucumbers - seeded and finely grated grated garlic - i use ~4 cloves, may use more next time tbsp or so olive oil tbsp or so lemon juice or vinegar
squeeze all the water out of the cucumbers, then mix everything together and let it sit in the fridge over night. If you try it right away it'll just taste like yogurt. It needs to sit for a while in the fridge to absorb all the flavors. The longer is sits, the more garlicky it gets. Should last ~ a week in the fridge.
Make sure you get as much water out of the cucumbers as you can. If you don't use strained yogurt, it'll be too liquidy and will never thicken. Still edible, and prolly usable, but not as tzatziki. easy peasy!
Ran into Dmitri at the mall the other day.

I was just wondering what herbs you like in yours? I think I like a lil' mint. But I rarely have it in stock.
