adventures in cooking

one of my cookbooks has an easy and delicious-sounding recipe for chilled cucumber and yogurt soup. you basically grate the cucumber, mix it in to the yogurt, add white wine vinegar, garlic, mint (but i don't like mint), salt, and pepper, and then chill. easy, right? and then, after i stirred everything in and tasted it to see if it needed more spice, i realized that i had acquired vanilla yogurt. d'oh! elaine is dumb. it actually tastes surprisingly good, all things considered, so i will eat it over the next few days. still, that was ridiculous.

I wish they'd make plain vs. vanilla more obvious, I hate vanilla yogurt! I'm glad it didn't make the soup inedible.

Yeah, it would've been nice if the containers were less alike. There was a picture of a vanilla flower, which I only noticed too late, but other than that, they were the same. I don't mind vanilla yogurt so much, but definitely not with my cucumber! Heh. Now, I've got slightly sweet, cucumbery soup with a kick from the garlic. Weird combo.
