    I love tzatziki! This recipe looks simple and easy. And the photo is lovely! I have everything already, going to try it this week! Thanks for sharing.

    Your phonetics would have been complete if you had included what tzatziki “sounds like” in a plain english word(s).
    How did an opera singer wind up in cooking? I know that I occasionally break out in song when I’m cooking so I guess the two go together. I haven’t tried your recipe yet but it looks delicious.

    I know exactly what you mean – growing up taking vocal lessons and taking linguistics in undergrad for fun has given me the same language talent. No idea what I’m saying, but It sounds pretty good.

      The music major in the Italian 101 class I took at college was the same way … I don’t think she was actually conjugating the verbs half the time, but she sounded great doing it lol!
