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.

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.
