  1. Great salad! I added some dill with the thyme and we liked the spices together. It's so different when you use fresh lemons instead of Real Lemon juice. The flavors and textures are very nice. My husband had two helpings. It's great for the South Beach Diet, also. Thanks, Carole in Orlando
     
  2. this is a really nice salad and does taste better if made in advance. i added some tabasco sauce for a little kick. i love the combo of corn and barley
     
  3. Very nice. Something different and delicious! My Husband was skeptical, but liked it. I cook for my dad who is a "meat and potatoes man" and he lived it. I served it with grilled slamon and grilled yellow summer squash. I didn't have small shrimp, so used larger shrimp and chopped them. I was also short on fresh lemon juice so had to use a little bottled as well. Thanks for a great addition to my collection.
     
  4. I'm always looking for something new to bring to pot luck lunches. Barley isn't normally on the menu, so I thought of giving it a try. This was very tasty and refreshing because of the fresh lemon dressing. I think this will be a favorite.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
