Opa!

So, for the first time in our three years of marriage, I made Greek food!!! And it was soooo good. I didn't remember to take pictures until we were almost done, but that's okay. We made "souvlaki". It's basically kabobs inside of a pita with tzatziki on top. All of which I made from scratch. :) It was amazingly delicious and we decided that we should have it everyday for dinner. Jeremy was so cute and just smiled and groaned like on "What about Bob?" all through dinner. He talked about eating these while walking around in Cyprus with his companion and just seemed so happy.

Here he is devouring his third one:Close up of the works and a kabob in the background:
Souvlaki:
I marinated chicken a couple hours before and then put on some green peppers (from our garden) and some yellow and red onions, and then broiled it in the oven for about 15 minutes. If you want the recipe, click here for the link. It's really good, and you should all try it.
And here one of the pitas: (Click here for the link)
And the tzatziki: Tzatziki is a sauce that is made with greek yogurt (or plain full-fat yogurt, better if it's strained), diced cucumber, garlic, and salt and pepper. It is really easy and really delicious. I kind of amended a recipe I found. Here's what I did:

2 cups plain yogurt
1 cucumber, diced very fine (dice the skin, or half of it, too)
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt & pepper to taste
a bit of lemon juice

And if you have leftovers, add a little fresh parsley to it, so the garlic taste isn't too strong.
So that was our fun dinner last night. My good friend Rachel Cox stayed with us last night (and her sweet baby McKay) and we all really enjoyed it.

We also watched the movie "North & South" last night and oh my goodness, it is so good! I had heard it was really good from a friend of mine, but I didn't expect it to be that good. It's about 4 hours long (I know, it's lengthy) but it is well worth it. It is based on the novel by Elizabeth Gaskell and it takes place in England during the Industrial Revolution. It is very moving and really great. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone! Jeremy and I both agreed that we even liked it better than Pride & Prejudice, and that's saying a lot. It's deeper, and just really touching. Be prepared because it's really sad, but there's some happy parts too. :) Anyway, so that's the update for today. Try the Greek food, it's great!
