Evening at Meg's
Well, that was an interesting day.
It started with me getting a new frame for my glasses (the other one was irreversibly damaged!!)
Later this afternoon, after the gym, I went to my friend's Meg who had this little "shin-dig" at her new apartment. Erin, Émile and Erin were already there when I arrived. Meg had provided the lunchables including some very nice brownies and ice-cream. Once again I contributed to the feast by providing home-made tzatziki and (non home-made) mini pitas. I do believe the tzatziki was a success, (if you ask me, it's all in the garlic) since I know for a fact that at least one person enjoyed it very much.
Later on, a bunch of other people joined us incuding Meg's sister, Jason, Megan and as usual some other people I don't remember their names (once again, I am SORRY). Actually, the place got a bit crowded; some people had to sit on the floor, but I guess we all had a lot of fun and enjoyed ourselves very much.
At around 11.40 Émile and I left and after I walked with him up to his place (another chance for exercise), I headed to my place.
I really needed this today after a very disturbing TA evaluation (again) that made me extremely angry, upset and, I admit, sad. Actually, I do not want to go through the details, but I will just make one remark:
The apparently necessary anonymity should never be used as a cover for really rude and hurtful remarks!! After all, people can still make a point without forgetting the species they belong to!!

Thanos, my tzatziki is always too watery and runny. I heard that I have to dry out the cucumber first. How do I this? Please help someone from the other side of the Mediteranean.
B.W.: I really do not think you have to dry the cucumber. (If it is too watery, after you slice it) you can squeeze it a bit so the excessive water can go away. But do not overdo it. After all, cucumber is 95% water, so if you really dry it out, there is going to be nothing left.
I would suggest to dry the yogourt instead since I found out (the hard way) that yogourt is very watery here. You can just drain the yogourt (after you put it in a big bowl and lean the bowl a bit so that you will let go of the water) or get some really fatty yogourt. The more the fat, the less the water!! But watch out for these calories...
However, if you ask me, the secret for a good tzatziki is garlic (lots of it). And, of course, do not forget the salt, pepper and a tablespoon of olive oil. (It does not have to be Greek, but it has to be good!!)
Megdear: Thanks a lot!! I will try to keep up the good work...
Thank you Athanasios! I will try straining the yogurt next time.
