Makes sense.. my dogs love small enclosed spots in the house sometimes.

Sure.. cracking the shell is easy though, just roll it around a bit.. The shell
comes off quickly then.

I don't remember where I got that recipe from - I've been making it for Easter
morning for years though.. I'd guess a magazine or newspaper perhaps.  I
remember it was long ago though (g).  It was so good, it was a repeated request
by family.

Yeah, think so.

===Yogurt Dip===
This is a great dip for vegetables or pita bread chunks

2 cups greek style yogurt
1 large cucumber, peeled and grated 1 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, grated
3 tablespoons fresh dill weed, chopped 2 tablespoons fresh mint, minced
1/4 tsp. cayenne
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt/pepper to taste

Grate the peeled cucumber with a good grater.  Place the peeled and grated
cucumber in a bowl and add the teaspoon of salt.  Allow the cucumber/salt to
sit for about an hour to draw out as much moisture as possible.  Drain the
water from the salted cucumber and discard the water.

Place the yogurt in a bowl.  Add the grated garlic and stir.  Add the drained
cucumber and stir.  Add the dill, mint and lemon juice.  Taste for seasoning.
Salt and pepper if you like, and sprinkle the cayenne lightly over the top.

Take care,
Janis
