Made as written for ZWT 6, altho I admit to altering the presentation slightly by making the bread rounds larger than directed. I used whole wheat bread, red onion for its mild flavor + a color variant & Icelandic baby shrimp. While the flavor of the shrimp mixture is tasty, I had a prob w/the presentation. The shrimp mixture was thinner than I expected it to be & got even moreso under the broiler, so I never got to a pale-golden color. Thinking that starting w/the shrimp mixture freshly refrigerated & firm might help, I chilled it & it did not help much, but .. To my delight, I found I liked the chilled mix better than after broiling. Go figure, huh? An afterthought became my method of choice. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us.

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.
