So....we celebrated the Lost Premiere this past Tuesday night! For those of you who watch it, I know you shared in my excitement! Once again our mind is swamped with unanswered questions, but it was well worth it because it gave us a chance to sit down together (yes, in front of the t.v.) and have a quiet meal together. Our moto around this house is to make an ordinary day a special day and try to do this through cooking of course. So in honor of the big premiere we were Greek for a night. I know, I know that show takes place in Hawaii, but it felt like a Greek night to me. I set up a little "Pita Bar" in our family room. It was kinda like a taco bar, but instead of filling up our tacos with Mexican ingredients we filled up our pitas with Greek flavors. I got the idea from my August 09 - Bon Appetit. They had what was called a
Greek Meze Platter. They described it as
" ....a fun assortment of flavorful nibbles...". I decided to use their idea, but come up with some of my own recipes. Here is what was on the menu: Oregano & Lemon Shrimp (with feta), Cucumber Salad, Marinated Kalamata Olives, Artichoke Hearts, Wedges of Lemons, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Chopped Tomatoes and fresh pita wedges. You can either eat all the fixin's on their own or you can pile them up all together in your pita. We cozied up on the couch for the three hour premiere, watched our show and made some pitas! It was pretty fun...and something different.
