...or fasolakia me arni, if you're Greek :) I love almost every type of cuisine but if I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be Lebanese. It's probably a bit of a cop out, really, because it's just so similar to Greek food. That's probably ...

Spanakorizo

Or, a fancy schmancy Greek way of saying spinach-'n-rice. In Greek, "spanaki" is spinach and "rizi" is rice. I hope you're paying attention to some of the Greek tidbits you're learning from my blog because you never know when you may need them. ...

Chicken Lo Mein

nobody@vox.com(Elly) — Thu, 01 May 2008 20:38:29 -0500

I love lo mein. It's one of those things I love to eat at a Chinese restaurant (or for take out), but I've never actually made at home. A few weeks ago, I was doing my usual aimless wandering around Whole Foods when I saw some lo mein noodles. I ...

Back in town and lacking produce

nobody@vox.com(Elly) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 19:14:07 -0500

Well, we're back. We had a great time visiting family in Michigan and I ate my weight in Greek desserts (and lamb and potatoes and tzatziki and bread and...). Calorically speaking, the last 5 days didn't happen ;) As a result of being out of town...

LiveSTRONG with a Taste of Yellow

nobody@vox.com(Elly) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 21:02:08 -0500

As I mentioned, there are so many great blogging events going on right now and sadly, I haven't had the chance to participate in as many as I would like. Thankfully, though, Barbara at Winos and Foodies extended the deadline for this year...

Topolobampo

nobody@vox.com(Elly) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 13:08:36 -0500

I'm not normally one to do a restaurant review (and I wouldn't actually call this a review to be honest), but I just had to make a post about my recent experience at Topolobampo. Topolobampo is one of Rick Bayless's restaurants. It shares a stor...

TCB and BBB

nobody@vox.com(Elly) — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 11:46:51 -0500

First, a little TCB/taking care of business. I'm working on bringing Eat to the Beat back. I think it will be a quarterly thing where I make a deadline every 3 months or so. If you miss that deadline, your entry will just roll over to the next ro...
