i suggest you make yogurt cheese

Because it’s freaking delicious. Basically you take some yogurt, drain it (either in a yogurt drainer or doubled up cheese cloth) for a few days, roll it into balls and marinate in a mixture of dried chiles (i used the ubiquitous arbol), garlic and dill. It was unbelievably good when I served it for hors’deouvres on Thanksgiving. Though next time I might just scratch the whole ball making step as it was frustrating and impeded me getting these balls in my mouth. However, if you just did a bowl of this stuff swimming in the marinade, you lose out on fun jokes about marinating your balls. Of which I made a few that weekend. I am a garlic fiend and these totally hit that sweet spot of garlicky goodness.
