It’s “cold dinner” night tonight. A very nice whole wheat batard (store-bought artisan), hard-cooked eggs, potato salad, sliced ripe tomato with balsamic vinegar, fried green tomatoes in a beer batter, deli-sliced ham and my marinated Kalamata olives.
Jim is no cook but he appreciates Alton Brown for the scientific presentation of his cookery. So now he wants gyros and I now have several pounds of lamb shoulder that I have to take off the bone and grind. I don’t have a rotisserie so will have to use the oven. My grinding attachment has never been used and is still in its original packaging since the first Fry’s opened in San Diego over ten years ago.
Jim will be happy to use my Kitchenaid which has not been used since we moved. I couldn’t find a box that looked like it would fit, so couldn’t finish unpacking the kitchen until he returned with the movers. Turns out he stored it on its side so the grease dripped out and I got kind of freaked out by that.
So tomorrow night is gyros on pita with red onion, Feta and tsatziki. Mmmm, reminds me of my last trip to Greece. Will have to take Jim some day. The little garbage eater (Zoe) can stay at the pet “spa.”
Tomorrow Jim wants to see Trans-Siberian but just told me there’s a sing-along version of Mamma Mia! at the theatre! I’ve always wanted to do that with The Sound of Music. The hills are alive…
Cooking with Dee 
I told you, I eat left overs stored in the left over bin!
Talk about dog “spa”. Its dog prison, dog prision I tell you. Sure the people are very nice and the other inmates are great fun but it doesn’t have a fancy bed. What’s worse the air conditioning is a degree warmer than I like. To top it all off, the humans there don’t realize I’m more important than all the other dogs. They don’t even give me car rides!
Enough for now, I’ve got some sleeping that needs done.
P.S.: jim, thanks for letting me borrow your iPhone. Your my favorite human!
