Here’s how lunch works in the book publishing world: agents and editors dine together at trendy New York restaurants. Writers, on the other hand, nibble leftovers at their desks . . . or, if they’re smart (or bored or need to buy stuff), they hit Costco at noon and make a meal of the samples.

That’s what I was doing one day this summer when I stumbled across Skotidakis jalapeno yogurt dip, which was being offered with Special K crackers, which are basically salt and air with a tiny bit of rice flour thrown in (I mean that in a very good way). As for the dip, it is creamy, spicy (just a bit), flavorful, satisfying and . . . are you ready? Probiotic! It just may be the perfect food.

Since then, we probably plow through two pints of the stuff every week, which sounds like a lot, but — okay, it is a lot. But it’s so good! And probiotic. Also, I just found out (thank you, Google) that the dip comes from a goat farm in Canada, which makes me love it even more for reasons I can’t quite explain.

Anyway, if Skotidakis yogurt dip ends up being one of those Costco products that I fall in love with only to have it disappear from the shelves, I will be very sad and my husband will be even sadder. So, I beg you: give it a try. If you won’t do it for me, do it for yourself. And if you won’t do it for yourself, do it for the goats.
