6/28/09

I have been cooking up a storm lately and have nobody to talk to about it.

Breakfast:
Homemade yogurt with flax seeds, honey, and granola

Lunch:
2 Nature Valley bars and a handful of peanuts

Dinner:
2 gyros made using a Cook's Illustrated recipe:
Pita, Spiced lamb patties, vegetables, and tzatziki (made from more homemade yogurt)
The recipe was really great. Instead of strips of lamb off a vertical spit, like restaurant gyros, you make patties out of lamb meat, spices, and ground pita, then you sauté them. The texture of the meat is more like well-seared sliders than normal gyro meat (next time I'll make the patties thinner for a better crust/insides ratio).
