In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of potatoes sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Cacık is yogurt thinned with water and mixed with grated or chopped cucumber, garlic, dried mint and a drizzle of olive oil. Turks serve it cold beside rice, meat and stuffed vegetables, and eat it by the spoonful on hot days.

Thicker cacık made with strained yogurt, or a generous olive oil drizzle, raises the numbers.
