Ode to Ceres, Goddess of Grain

The dinner didn’t go as I planned, but only because my Jim was an hour late coming home from work. The sauce got a bit thick. Otherwise I’ll plan on sending on a recipe tomorrow as Ms. Ceres, by putting it on hold I actually undercooked the rice!

The feta made the dish! And Jim was weaned on tasteless cheeses. I consider my cheese education consistent with his physics knowledge. Hey, I have to endure physics lessons on long car trips so at least he can taste cheeses that are more tasty than supermarket Monterey Jack!

Made extra sauce so will have pasta with perhaps keftedes/keftedakia (Greek meatballs) for dinner. I’ve never had rice problems before so don’t anticipate any more mishaps. Thanks, Dee

  1. Sorry to hear of your rice problems. And I agree, feta makes everything better. By the way your pasta with keftedes sounds like a wonderful use of leftovers! And in reference to your post about olives…I am never without kalamata in my fridge! Maybe we both should have been born in Greece, in another life…

  2. chedder is better!!!!!

    (maybe not in this case)

  3. It’s c-h-e-d-d-a-r, m’love. And it’s never too late to go live in Greece. If you need a “fix” just go to the movies and see Mamma Mia. I’m sure they had a great cinematographer but who needs one when the scenery is so fantastic.

    Mouse Island, in the Ionian sea, I’ll have to look it up in my journal and photo album. I think I belong there or in Italy, which is overpopulated by Americans.
