"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Tzatziki Sauce: In a fine mesh strainer, toss the cucumber with the salt. Allow the cucumber to drain for 15 minutes over a bowl or the sink to remove excess water. In a medium size bowl, combine the drained cucumber, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill weed, garlic and pepper.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is a favorite on s/v Imagine. With us quality that can reduce cook time for more fun is always a plus. Also, this is a great lamb recipe. Hint, when you're in the Bahamas lamb is cheap compared to other meat. It is a crown item and not taxed like other foods. So always buy crown items when re-supplying.
