I Dream of Tzatziki Sauce

Now don't get me wrong, I am LOVING eating better and not shoving junk into my mouth everyday, but one thing I have noticed.... when you are trying to lose weight and watch what you eat, the silliest things sound AMAZING to you on a daily basis.
Last night my friend Misty called to ask if she could come over tonight to borrow my three year old for her childhood development homework, and in exchange she would buy my a Pita Pit wrap. I drooled. Last night I dreamed of my VEGGIE SUPREME pita in all its tasty goodness, and most of all the nummy tzatziki sauce. "Tzatziki, tzadziki, or tsatsiki (Greek: τζατζίκι) is a Greek meze or appetizer, also used as a sauce for souvlaki and gyros. Tzatziki is made of strained yoghurt (usually sheep's-milk or goat's-milk in Greece and Turkey) with cucumbers, garlic, salt, usually olive oil, pepper, dill, sometimes lemon juice and parsley, or mint added. The cucumbers are either pureed and strained, or seeded and finely diced. Olive oil, olives, and herbs are often used as garnishes." I know to most it sounds gross, but I am odd that way!
