I liked the combination of flavors, but was not overly happy with the outcome. I followed the recipe exactly, except that I coarsley chopped the eggs, as a personal preference. I felt the salad had too much onion, 1/3 cup would have been enough for me, or perhaps my onions are much sharper than greek ones, and I found the taste of the red wine vinegar did not quite fit in. When I do this again, I will use lemon or lime juice instead. I would reduce the olive oil to 3 Tbs, too. I will try this again with the above changes. :)

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.
