@LulusMom1’s recent trip to Greece has inspired me lately. I ordered some fried calamari and shrimp, which I was jonesing for, after reading the trip reports, and a watermelon feta spinach salad at a neighbourhood restaurant in Toronto on Saturday night, which was a fail for me. I was up drinking water all night because I can’t handle the salt in fried calamari anymore.
I need to only order fried calamari when I can share the order with a few friends.
Tonight’s dinner used my first eggplants from my garden.
Baked pork meatballs (Cypriots make a pork kefte, I might try following a recipe next time), a yogurt sauce, briam ( Greek equivalent to ratatouille , also called Tourlou Tourlou) , green salad with home-grown lettuce, arugula, green onions , parsley, mint and oregano, roasted carrots and Japanese turnips .
