Happy Birthday, Julie!

Happy birthday to my most faithful (and, ahem, it appears ONLY) reader!

Here is a birthday salad recipe I came up with for you to make (it is SO yummy and quick since you are studyign so much german. It has four food groups all in one bowl!):

Julie's Greek Goddess Salad

-Sautee chicken breast stips in olive oil until golden brown and sprinkle with garlic salt and fresh ground pepper. Squeeze juice of one lemon over top and bring to a boil. Simmer until Chicken is cooked through (10 minutes)

-Toss stale bread cubes in butter and add garlic salt and oregano liberally. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes until golden and croutony

-Mix dressing: juice of one lemon, wine vinegar (either type), oregano, salt, pepper, olive oil, and one smashed garlic clove to taste. Add chopped fresh parsley if you have it.

Combine above ingredients with: red leaf lettuce, kalamata olives, halved grape tomatoes, vidalia onion shavings (vidalias are the sweetest), chunks of English cucumbers, and feta cheese.

YUMMMY BIRTHDAY, Julie!

Wait just a cotton-pickin minute here. I'm sure this Julie is a really groovy chick, but I recall a certain early spring evening when a similar salad was made at a certain apartment on Indiana Street, and it was eponomously named "Ethan's Greek Goddess Salad." In fact the salad was so good, the questionable gender of the 'Goddess' ascription was instantly forgotten. You even told me you hoped the croutons were croutony enough! JUDAS!!
