Keftedes and Spanakopita

Gee, it must have been Greek Week...

First the keftedes, Greek meatballs...
Let me show you my hot caud.
These balls were from the Three Ancient Cuisines cookbook.

..and the Spanakopita.

Phyllo dough is fun to work with, but I'd never want to make the stuff.
Peepin!

I love Spanakopita so much, and will totally make this again. However, I will use like 3 times the spinach. This recipe is from The Complete Book of Pizza by Louise Love. Her brown sugar pizza crust is insanely good, but that's another post.

I also made Ginger Ale...

Yum-O, bitch!

The Bad Foot.

This is a portrait of my foot this past summer. It was bit to hell, and I couldn't stop scratching it.

It got better.

The Old Man (Unfinished)

This was undone about a month ago when I took a break from painting for what turned into a few weeks. When I started up again, the paints had dried. I don't really wanna go toe to toe with the Old Man on this one anyways.


But don't worry.

All of this will happen again.

The System Is Down.

I've been without internet for a week and a half, and boy do we miss you. Here is what we missed, fast and furious.

Pastitsio

Pastitsio, from the Greek, meaning 'Oh my God look at this fucking mess!' Also known as Greek lasagna.

The Sirachia sauce is not an ingredient. It was just on the table.

With the béchamel sauce, fresh out the oven.

The recipe for Potpourri lasagna is from The Frugal Gourmet host and children's entertainer, Jeff Smith.
