This Week on the Dining Table

The "It's Greek to Me" Edition.....

On one of our Wednesday appointment days earlier this month we went to "Yeero Yeero", the only Greek family owned restaurant we've found here.  After figuring out where the front door was(which was far from obvious-it was in the back)the interior was very grand if overpowering visually.  I think the building was originally a small bank which would make sense if you ever saw this place.  Anyway, we just got Gyros and they were pretty good.  Hubs wants to go back another time and try their Dolmades(stuffed grape leaves)as he loves those.  I am not a fan.  I'm all about a good Greek Salad and I make a wonderful Moussaka.  A Greek restaurant in PA we went to had a Greek hamburger/cheeseburger but this place doesn't do one.  More's the pity.

Onward to the meal planning!

This is what was planned.......

1. Sunday--Chicken Parm, Roasted Asparagus

2. Monday--Lemon Pepper Chicken w/Zucchini in Tomato Sauce, Rice

3. Tuesday--Tacos or Taco Salad

4. Wednesday--Chicken Teriyaki Stir-Fry w/Veggies, Rice

5. Thursday--Dental Work so ??

6.  Friday--Leftovers

7. Saturday--Leftovers

And here's what actually happened........

1. Sunday--Chicken Parm, Roasted Asparagus

2. Monday--Lemon Pepper Chicken w/Zucchini in Tomato Sauce, Rice

3. Tuesday--Chicken Teriyaki Stir-Fry w/Veggies, Rice

4. Wednesday--Leftovers(more Stir-Fry for me)

5. Thursday--Jello Du Jour and a Frosty

6.  Friday--Cheeseburger

7. Saturday--Tacos using leftover Ground Beef

More dental work on Thursday so Hubs fended for himself.  He also made the tacos on Saturday.

Now that my wound had closed up I am having to deal with a bum knee that keeps me from walking around and doing much. ugh
