Another long, busy day at the office today...and it continued well into this evening. But, we had a very nice break, turning up our noses at the smoked salmon we had planned to have at home (oh, I love salmon...it's just an expression) in favor of sampling the wonders of a nice little Greek restaurant just a few miles from the house. Together the two sampler plates we ordered gave us little bits of dolmas, spanakopita, tzatziki, avgolemono soup, lamb chops, mousaka, chicken and pork souvlaki, and eggplant dip. It was voluminous, but not as overwhelming as it looks in black and white in front of me. The occasion was what I wrote about last night: my wife has been cancer-free for three years. It still makes me giddy.
It's time for me to take in the news of the world, so I'll shuffle off and read English language news sites from around the world. It gives me a radically different perspective than I get from CNN...and it's even more enlightening than a lot of the material presented by NPR. I have to stop...if I'm going to read it, I can't write about it at the same time.

Wonderful news about your wife! Life is good sometimes.
And Greek food is good, too. I love moussaka, with its cinammon-scented sauce, tender eggplant and creamy cloud of bechamel. Mmm...
The Moosewood Cookbook has a very good moussaka recipe. If you like lamb, you can always substitute it for the finely chopped mushrooms called for in the recipe.
