We're not much of a wine-drinking house either, but I do get the little bottles (like served on an airplane) for cooking.

It looks good! I'm glad it was such a success.

Looks darn good, Edie! Greek cuisine is a huge favorite, so I try to serve it frequently at our house.

Edie could you post your recipes?

Here is the link to the Souvlaki recipe and embedded in the directions is another link to a Tzatziki Sauce recipe

Bearing in mind that due to food allergies I can't have garlic, I pretty much upended my herb rack into the Tzatziki Sauce. Definitely not traditional but still very tasty. Accompaniments to the Souvlaki were sliced tomatoes, diced black olives, lettuce and jarred fire-roasted red peppers. We do not care for feta cheese so I chopped up some Provolone slices. And although the Souvlaki called for the juice but not the rind of a lemon, I grated it anyway for putting in the salad.

For the rice salad, I cooked 1 cup of brown/wild rice mix exactly according to the package instructions but added some dried herbs in with the rice before cooking (parsley, thyme, Summer Savory, white pepper and a dash of paprika. After the rice cooked I took it off the stove to cool, and stirred in just a dab of EVOO to keep it from drying out. Veggies I chopped and added after rice was good and cool were: tomatoes, bell pepper, halved black olives and the rest of the cucumber that I didn't grate for Tzatziki. Just before serving I tossed in some fresh oregano & mint leaves and some parsley and another small drizzle of EVOO. Then just for fun decoration a few of the innermost leaves from the lettuce head on top. That's it!

Yes I will do this again but probably not until outdoor grilling season. I've cleaned the stove twice and still keep finding grease spatters. I never saw such a mess!

Yum, edie, that looks good. Here in Michigan until I wait for outdoor grilling season, it'll be another 4 months, LOL.
