Devora – I bought a small container of Chobani so that I could do a side-by-side kosher taste test. What do you like about their yogurt? – Z

You’ve got to try Chobani Greek yogurt… can you get some samples from them?

- Laura, thanks for the pasta suggestion with Greek yogurt and onion — sounds like a nice summery dish. And using the pasta water is always a great idea.
- Sarah, I love the phrase “ma petite chou” — I think it’s the genesis of the Cabbage Patch Kids! — and am honored that you have bestowed this term of endearment on me. Zucchini fritters with yogurt dip also sound great, definitely summery. As for what is appropriate for a foodie to review or feature — I’m not sure cars are up my alley. While I haven’t yet been inundated by requests, nor do I think I ever will be, my reputation is at stake, so I plan to continue to be pretty picky and to speak my mind, positive or negative.

I didn’t know that Oikos was kosher! Definitely let me know how it is please! I’m a loyal Fage and Siggi’s eater but I think my boyfriend would be happier with me if I found a kosher yogurt that I like. Once you try Greek yogurt, ya never go back though. If there is one that’s both kosher and Greek-style, I’ll happily switch!

Ma petite chou, (not a pun but a nice foodie endearment)

I love anything with yogurt, I last used it on zucchini fritters which makes for an excellent breakfast or snack. One foodie I met on twitter was asked to test drive a car to review on his vegetarian blog (while eating stir fried tofu?).

I have been really into Greek yogurt with pasta lately. I slice some onions, cook them slowly, salt and pepper them, maybe add a little thyme if I’m feeling creative and then throw in some cooked pasta and some Greek yogurt and combine. And a little pasta water if everything feels too tight. Perfect summer dinner!

“Prenez l’air, prenez l’Ermitage”. You got the second part right, but the first “air” thing is more like go for a walk, take the air. (http://www.wordreference.com/fren/prendre%20l%27air).
And you are right, the cow timer is indeed tres tres mignonne
