Tzatziki

 Good Morning people of the world!  Right now the temp in Central PA is a comfortable 64 (F) with a high expected to climb into the low 80s (F).  Today's my day off, so I can live with that.

Yesterday was my first day back at work and I knew instantly that I'm going to need to reduce my availability.  After talking about my Grecian adventure with the Store Manager, I asked him if I'd missed anything.  He replied, "well, we fired a scoundrel," then he looked at me and said, "I can tell you the details."  It's nice to have been a Human Resources representative if you want to get the dirt.  The associate was fired for theft, a top reason we terminate people, mostly because they believe they're smarter than the system.  They're not.

Here's an interesting bit:  Friday night, as I was grabbing my suitcase from my car, I saw a white, domesticated bunny in my yard.  When I walked towards it, the bunny turned and I saw that the fur on the left side was brown and mottled, like that of a wild bunny.  When I walked towards it, the bunny turned it's wild side to me and hopped away.  Tame vs wild, I thought.  I found the symbolism intriguing.  When I told my friend, Patty, she said, "meh."  2000 years ago, that bunny would have been seen as a sign from the gods.

One of my core beliefs is that when you travel, you should eat the cuisine of the area, country, region you are in, and since I like Greek food, I had no problem with this.  This did not apply to other members of my group, who stuck with the same basic food groups they ate in their homelands.  Not me at all.  I did learn things though.  Our local restaurants serve Tzatziki as an appetizer eaten by itself, so when I ordered a dish, that's what I did.  It was only later that I learned that it's most often spread on thin slices of bread.  Tzatziki is a mixture of yoghurt, cucumber slices, and garlic... a lot of garlic, so much garlic that, as Christos said, "you could kill a fly a 5 meters."  Anyway, on Saturday, since I like Greek cuisine, I made moussaka (think of it as Greek Shepard's Pie), and it is delicious.

And a lot of people are upset because the Main Stream Media has left the eating of the cats and dogs behind and moved onto the phony assassination attempt.  This should have been expected.  Remember, they are always looking for their next hot topic because reporting on the same old cat and dog eating stories get old.  The American faux news consumer is always looking for fresh meat.  To those who are complaining, I say "Fear Not."  Trump's mind is like a garbage dump.  Because he can't help himself, it's only a matter of time be for he vomits up something new and vile.  Also, keep in mind, each regurgitation will be worse.  Probably the best thing we can all do is to sit back, eat a big bowl of Tzatziki, and breath in his direction.
