A little bit of Eastern European (edible) culture

In the spirit of learning more about "Abraham's" homeland, we prepared two traditional dishes this weekend--tarator and stuffed peppers.  And having tasted these, we are very eager to try more recipes from our sweet boy's country in the near future!  Recently I found a way of making yogurt in the slow cooker, and it makes the perfect base for tarator!  We were really excited to discover this salad-alternative and plan to experiment with our own American twists in the future.  If anyone is interested, this is the yogurt recipe, and it turns out to be just a tiny bit thicker than kefir and considerably thinner than store-bought yogurt.

Unrelated to Eastern European cooking, but related to experimenting in the kitchen, Sean is bound and determined to make his own, fully-edible mobius strip bacon!  Someone created a 3D-printable bacon mobius strip sculpture which gave Sean the idea.  It's a pretty cool sculpture, but it would be much better if it was actually made out of bacon, don't you think?
