Wow!!!! what can I say. This was fantastic. I had all the ingredients on hand in my freezer, fridge and pantry, so that is a BIG plus and the next plus was it was so easy to put together. This was a great family meal, but I also plan to serve it next time we have company. The only thing I had doubts about was how far to reduce the wine in step 6. I reduced it until it was sticky and just covering the onions without them burning. Oh, and the only green olives we keep are already pitted and stuffed with anchovies which went really well with the other flavours.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. 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.
