DYK Thread for October





**For those uncertain to what a DYK thread is......**


DYK stands for Did You Know or Do You Know


It is simply a chit chat thread where every thought is written in sentences and each sentences starts with the initials DYK---it is fun, entertaining and a great way to meet the board members


Below are some fun DYK blinkies--feel free to snag any if you like:

I spent from 10 AM on cooking today

I made souvlaki, saganaki (fried cheese) in tomato sauce with shrimp, moussaka, a Greek salad with feta cheese and olives, and amigdelota (almond cookies) which I'm going to serve with Haagen Dasz ice cream and some good after dinner coffee

The girls helped me cook! :)

Michael bought the wine, but we're serving retsina too (Greek wine)

Greeks think retsina is the oldest wine there is, LOL (I doubt that)

Michael cleaned the house for me today while I cooked

At 6:30, our pediatrician and his wife are coming for dinner

He's bringing the H1N1 vaccine for me and the kids (Michael had it @ work yesterday)

That was his deal: "You make me Greek food, I'll come vaccinate you guys" LOL

Of course, on top of that whole agreement is that we all watch the Yankees game

Wish us luck with Jenna and the vaccine!! :P

It is unheard of for me to cook the way I did today

And I can't even ask Michael's cooking advice, since he doesn't know squat about Greek cooking!

Let's hope no one is poisoned tonight, LOL

Yep!! They just might take it tonight

However, they also might get rained out, since it is raining and muggy here today

Souvlaki is the closest thing Greeks come to hamburgers, LOL

It's meat and veggies and sauce in a gyro

I make it with beef, not lamb, but it is traditionally made with lamb

I don't eat lamb

What kind of Greek girl am I?? LOL

Let's hope Jenna doesn't bite her doctor, or kick him where it counts!
