Our son, Caleb, enjoys culinary experimentation as much as his dad and I do. (He makes a great brew too! But that's off limits for me...darn this disease.) He suggested I make a feta cheese dip like he has made. He provided me with approximate amounts of each ingredient and I took it from there and modified it to meet my needs. Tom used it as a dip for cucumbers and I used it as a dip for some pita chips. Great flavor combination! Thanks Caleb!
