  20 I like to grate my vegetables; this results in a bit of a different
  21 texture as the water and pulp from the grated vegetables mixes with
  22 the Yogurt. If you dice the vegetables instead the texture is a bit
  23 more yogurty, **and** you need to refrigerate it for a bit longer before
  24 eating. Make it both ways and see; it only takes ten minutes to throw
  25 together a batch.

  27 A good yogurt with cream makes for a very nice base texture.
