Food!

Greek food is so pretty and tasty. I tried to take pictures before I ate it but this is usually how it turned out: shrimp shells and fish bones!



Once in a while I actually managed to take a picture but usually because the food was so amusing-



Yes, that's an olive in his eye socket! And, green pepper for gills and red onion for ribs. Here's a close up of that eye.



The spaghetti was fab-



I think I pretty much captured the same taste with this recipe-

1.5 lbs. ground beef
5 tomatoes
1 sweet onion
3 or more cloves of garlic
Romano cheese
Dried oregano
Red wine
Salt

Use two pans. Chop the onions small. Chop the garlic small. Chop the tomatoes big. With a little oil, saute the onion and garlic for 5 minutes. Stir it a bit. Add the big chopped tomatoes. Sprinkle on some salt and oregano and let it cook a bit as you look the ground beef in the other pan.

Cook the ground beef with a little salt and oregano. Drain when done. Once the ground beef is done and drained add the onion mixture and reduce the heat a bit. Add some red wine, salt and some oregano. Sprinkle in a small handful of romano cheese. Cook for about 10 minutes and add more red wine. Cook for about 10 more minutes. The tomatoes will melt.

If the meat is too chunky, take a pie crust mixer to it (You know, one of those wire/cutter dealies with a handle).

All the alcohol will be cooked off but the wonderful smell and taste will remain. It will look like that picture!
