Homonyms seem to be a weak point for most people who communicate through writing. I mix 'em up sometimes but I try to make a point to re-read what I write before I hit send on the ole email. I wish business associates would do the same. "Its ready" and "This item is there's." looks very unprofessional. I try to be understanding because I know I've done the same thing before but it's just like a new ding in your door.
"There's" has an apostrophe in it... that means it's a possessive type of word right?
NO. It's a contraction.
Ok, well then "it's" must be correct because this phrase was meant to be possessive...
NO. The word "it" doesn't follow that rule.
Meh whatevs... too much effort to get bent out of shape about it right?
Weekend was good, hung out at Sister's house for most of it and saw Poppa DPO. Me and Nephew also had some bonding moments and Nephew tried to taste his Dad's "barley pop" (aka beer) on the sly. I had flash backs of sneaking sips of my Dad's beer. Nephew is currently displaying his crafty side and penchant for word trickery. Two year old kids are definitely part fairy when it comes to the word games.
"No, you can't have the squirt gun."
"But Grandpa wants it, I take it to him"
"Nice try kid, but no."
Random fact about me, I like the phrase "Well, that just eats my lunch."
Sooooo, moving on.
If you've never tried tzatziki (sounds sort of like cha-zee-kee) it's a yoghurt and cucumber type of cold dip. Very easy to make but you do have to make it a day before you serve it otherwise it doesn't really taste like much. Makes your mouth feel sort of cool and is especially good with heavy dishes like gyro meat*... and I do likes it on the pita chips
Ingredients
1, 12 oz. container or 1 and 1/14 cup plain Greek yoghurt (I use the no fat kind and it seems to work just fine)
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp coarse salt
about 3 inches of a cucumber
Strip and umm... think of Lefkada?
1. peel, de-seed and finely chop the cucumber ( you can de-seed and grate the cucumber too but squish out a little of the liquid)
2. Dump all ingredients into container you can cover and refrigerate
3. Stir it all up
4. chill over night so the flavor is uniform
5. eat it
* those Greeks do know their stuff, I guess after being a civilization for so long, they would. Along those lines, I imagine the Chinese are geniuses for the same reason. Do some research, get back to me, k?
