Click the link to this article. They have a picture of what looks to be Pad Thai, being eaten by chop stick, and a caption about Greek food. Is Pad Thai greek food? Do they eat Greek food with chop sticks?
Word on the street is that the chemicals absorbed by slathering kids with sunscreen since they are newborns is what is causing the ADHD epidemic...just sayin'...be careful out there.
Fage---the Greek yogurt is delish.
A nice breakfast dish: mix Fage yogurt, Stonyfield French Vanilla yogurt and blueberries.
(I use poly bags of Dole frozen blueberries---conveniently on-hand in your freezer, in season and out).
My new fave restaurant is Pita Jungle. Their jalapeno/cilantro hummus is to die for! (Phoenix area only, I believe.) We love Greek food. Finally there’s some good news about the foods that we love!
Ah, another epidemiological study of the benefits of a “Mediterranean” or “Greek” diet that overlooks what’s really going on.
If you divide Greece into the secularized cities and the still-pious Orthodox countryside when you do the study, it’s only in the still piously Christian areas that the health benefits are found. Why? Because for 50 days before Pascha, 40 days before Christmas, 15 days before the Dormition of the Theotokos, all but about five Wednesdays and Fridays throughout the year and a stretch of days of variable length before the Feast of SS. Peter and Paul, pious Orthodox Christians abstain from all meat, eggs and dairy products, as well as (olive) oil and alcoholic beverages (though shellfish are allowed all the time and fin fish on “feast days” that fall during the fasts, plus weekends, Tuesdays and Thursdays during the Apostles’ Fast and the first 26 days of the Nativity Fast, and you get to whoop it up with (olive) oil and wine on weekends).
I thought that it was long known that the Mediterranean diet was the healthiest way to eat on the planet, along with the diabetic diet.
That being said...I think I will have a falafel salad for lunch tomorrow.
BTW, thank you for the reminder. ;o)
