Summer is here!

Hello everyone! Summer is here! I'm excited and a little sad. The latter is a result of the fact that I won't have a vacation anytime soon. I'm also getting a bit tired of the endless job search. Some ideas about my own business cause me sleepless nights but in the absense of any capital, there is little hope for my ideas to become true. However, I read a blog a few days ago where the author was explaining this trend in the USA - the financial and employment crisis increased significantly the number of people who decided to take the risk and start their own business, despite the fact that banks are far more difficult to lend money these days. Isn't that interesting? It may turn out the crisis will bring some good luck too...

Otherwise, I've been cooking some light food lately as the warm weather doesn't motivate me for heavy meals. If you haven't tried the traditional South European cold soup Tarator, now is the time. It is light, refreshing, and very healthy.

Tarator

one yogurt

one cucumber

one-two cloves of garlic

one handfull of crushed wallnuts

two-three tablespoons of sunflower oil

dill

Beat the yogurt very well until it is liquid, add the grated cucumber, the finely cut garlic and the wallnuts. Add the oil and mix all very well. Add one-two cups of cold water. You can add ice cubes too. If you prefer it a bit salty, add some salt. At the end add finely cut dill - just a spoon. Enjoy!
