I'm Back...Almost

Well, I'm almost back.

My move went fine...unpacking is another thing. But the test kitchen is almost up and running. (OK it's a rather small kitchen, but mine, none the less).

Lately I've been experimenting with not-quite-raw food for my dog, so maybe I'll have to start another blog dedicated to that. Hmmmm.

Taking a Break

Yup, that's right, I'm taking a break from cooking and recipe testing.

Truth is, I've adopted a beautiful dog, bought an apartment, and am preparing for the big moving day. All while working 12 hours a day and visiting my dog at my parent's place on the weekends. Needless to say, this doesn't leave much time for cooking!!

So I won't be adding recipes with any consistancy until after I'm settled in the new digs. Maybe I'll write up the menu of the house-warming when that happens.

In the meantime, Thanks to all who have visited this blog, and those who have been kind enough to comment on some of the recipes.

Look for me again near the end of July, beginning of August.

Thanks
Myrna

Greek Salad

This is one of my favourite summer salads.

2 med. cucumbers, peeled
2 targe tomatoes, trimmed
1 can black olives, drained
1 onion, peeled
1/2 lb feta cheese
1/2 c. olive oil
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp. oregano leaves
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Cut cucumbers legnthwise and remove seeds. Roughly chop cucumbers, tomaotes, and onions (should be left in bite size chunks). Slice olives. Place the vegetables in a large bowl. Add crumbled feta. In a small jar, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Shake to mix. Pour the dressing over the salad, toss gently. Serve.

**tastes better if made early on and refrigerated**

Enjoy,

Myrna
