Good point Linda...I had made the assumption that Einsteins was all over the place (except in Maine because it seems that's the way so many things are!). It's an upscale deli similar in ambiance to Panera (another place I've only been once). The sticks were made with phyllo or puff pastry, a bit on the crusty side as they held their shape at approximately 12" x 1+" x 1+" per stick. Do you know what I mean? Your recipe sounds delicious too. Would you post it? Linda

I've got a few family recipes. Of course, my family is Greek, so the flavors might be different from what you're used to. But, on the other hand, they might be an interesting change. Briami (Baked Summer Vegetables) A variety of summer vegetables, baked in olive oil. A simple, tasty, and nutritious casserole. Use as a main dish or a delicious vegetable side dish. Vary the vegetable depending on what is available. 1 pound summer squash (zucchini, crookneck, patty pan, etc.) 1 pound eggplant 1 pound potatoes 2 onions 1 - 1 pounds tomatoes (fresh or canned) ½ - 1 cup olive oil Salt and pepper to taste 1 cup chopped parsley ½ 1 cup water, hot 2 green peppers (optional) 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional) I cup buttered breadcrumbs (optional) ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional) ÂScrub squash and cut off ends; cut in ¼ inch slices or in 1 inch chunks. ÂScrub eggplant and cut off ends; cut into ¼ inch slices. (Eggplant may be salted and set aside on paper towels to absorb moisture for at least 30 minutes. Rinse well before adding to casserole.) ÂWash and peel potatoes; cut in ¼ inch slices. ÂPeel onions; cut in ¼ inch slices. ÂWash, peel and cut tomatoes into slices (roughly slice or chop canned whole tomatoes). ÂIf using peppers, wash, remove seeds and cut into strips. ÂBeginning with sliced potatoes, layer all vegetables in a large casserole.

Melintzanosalata (Roasted Eggplant Salad) Deliciously different!

ÂAdjust seasonings. ÂCover and let stand for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve Spanakorizo with grated Parmesan cheese and/or plain, unflavored yogurt. Variation: To make Prassorizo (Leek Rice), substitute 1 1/2 pounds sliced leeks (white and green portions) for the spinach and add with the liquid. Leeks need longer cooking time. Omit green onions.
