This can't be yogurt

I'm in Santorini, Greece today. I had this bowl of yogurt with fruit -- drizzled with honey -- overlooking an azure sea. But never mind the sea.

Can you get Greek-style yogurt in LR? It's nothing like grocery store Dannon, Yoplait, etc. It's much thicker, much creamier, but still tangy. As much as anything, it reminds me of Creole cream cheese from my Louisiana boyhood.

A whole different food.

'A Loss of Roses' a stunner

Before last Friday night, the saddest, most "depressing" Depression-era story I had read was Horace McCoy's "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" However, after watching The Arkansas Repertory Theatre's opening performance of William Inge's "A Loss of Roses," I can attest that this play is as rough and unflinching as that Depression-era tale, or any other.
