I couldn’t help but post this with my eldest daughters love of donuts. Click on the above picture to take you to the Krispy Kreme Donut!
Hey Kristin, it’s National Donut Day!
greek moussaka is wonderful
One of my favorite meals is to dine on Moussaka! It is a meat and vegetable dish that has a lot of appeal in certain parts of the world, but it is virtually unknown in others. However, not everyone enjoys Moussaka and I think it is not so much because of how it is prepared but because of some , or one , of its ingredients. How one prepares the eggplant either makes or breaks this marvelous dish!
I am finally getting down to making Moussaka today …and I am reminded that slicing and frying the eggplant very thin is key! Personally, I love the addition of zucchini and potatoes also sliced and fried thin. In the sauce, I use a mixture of lamb and pork which produces a soft and delicious meat filling.
When my daughters returned from their conference in Rio de Janeiro they met Laura in another conference in Boston. Kindly, they had brought with them some cookbooks for me… in Portuguese. Now translating cookbooks is relative easy regardless of the language, but Portuguese is a language that English speaking people find possible. Thanks , ladies!
Now, I am busy!
BTW. Greek Festival in San Luis Obispo if you are looking for something fun this weekend!
