My New Friend

    I have a new best friend  - her name is Diana Kochalas and she's the host of a cooking show called "My Greek Table" on TLN at 6:00p.m. Honestly, it's just like having her in the room with me, chatting about Greek food! It is really healthy and heavy on vegetables. She also shares beautiful views of Greece and cultural sights. My dinner tonight is going to include sauteed vegetables with a ton of olives, sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese. Greek yogurt and honey also figure frequently in her meals and, of course, Greek olive oil. 

   I did manage a short walk today although it was -9C and the wind made it feel even colder. As the Danes say, "There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing choices"! It's part of their "hygge" philosophy for surviving winter and  I heartily endorse it. I was well wrapped up but could have had an extras layer on my legs - just had to walk faster!

  1. Your dinner sounds delicious. I love greek yoghurt. The proper stuff. Not the overly sweetened junk pretending to be yoghurt. It should have a bite that is balanced by the honey. Oh yum. I know what I'm having for lunch!

  2. -9C?? Shiver...
    I also love the thick, unsweetened Greek yogurt and eat it every day. I buy the fat free version which is even better for my waistline!

    1. I made some in my Instapot using low fat milk and it came out thick and creamy. It was very good!

  3. I'll see if I can find this show on our channel selection - I SO enjoy Greek food. Thanks.
    We have a little Greek shop in our village & she delivers fully cooked meals & sells products she imports from Greece, so I'll have a source for any recipe ingredients!

    1. Lucky you! There are probably places around here too, just have to do some research.

  4. I make a salad quite often that contains olive oil, olives, feta cheese, broccoli, cauliflower, onions and tomatoes. I use different spices/herbs every time and Harvey loves it.

    Your meal sounds awesome.

    God bless.

    1. It was very tasty but rather salty for me. I will have tot try and adjust that.
