Where to begin. I HATE chopping things up. Ohhhhh how i loooooathe dicing, and slicing and julienning. Second thing on my list to help me in life was to request from Santa a Cuisinart. Santa was very generous to me and my plight. A few weeks after Christmas my 20 some odd pound baby arrived. Shiny, new and ready to make mama happy. Similarly to my big decision when i got my first born baby (my Kitchen Aid mixer) what would i make first? Something memorable and delicious. Something that i'd hate and would never ever make unless i had something to make my life easier. TZZZZZZATZIIKI!!!!! Here is how to make tzatziki with the Cuisinart. Throw it all in, pulse pulse, and eat. K, it's not really THAT easy, but it really did take about 5 minutes to make and i think 4 of the 5 minutes was trying to get the blades on without slicing and dicing my fingers off. It made my garlic so tiny, and the cucumber so slicey and then blended in all the other ingredients to peeeeerfection. I love to throw in all sorts of things to make my life a slice of heaven. hehe, i just can't help myself.
oh and ps: the middle picture is to show that i must have received the brand for those of us who have poor vision and get panicky about slicing too much. The buttons are pretty much fool proof. AAHHHHHH my cucumbers are turning to juice....where is that darned button. Ohhhhh phew, there it is. 3 inches long and in bold silvery letters.
