I should try adding lemon, I've never done that. Her recipe calls for 1 glove garlic, kosher salt, olive oil and chili flakes.



Sounds similar. It needs paprika, rosemarry and a smothering of tzatziki

Grandma used more garlic, the zest and a light spritz of lemon juice , the rest is identical. The lemon juice is for a slight tang, the zest gives most of the lemon effect

There you go, making me hungry again :) Never heard of chicken souvlaki but it sounds very similar to chicken spiedies, a local dish here...and only here I believe.

Grilled Chicken Spiedies

Forget everything you've learned about marinating chicken. The key to these grilled chicken skewers is to marinate the meat in olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, herbs, and spices for several hours before grilling them to crispy, yet moist, perfection.

My mom uses a lot of garlic and onions when she cooks. I ask her to dial it back a bit for me. I'll try adding some lemon tonight.

1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 large unpeeled cucumber
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tbsp white vinegar
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp minced fresh dill

mix yogurt, garlic, vinegar and olive oil and let sit in your fridge overnight. Grate cucumber then drain through sieve. Mix in cucumber juice, fresh dill and serve. I like to put a little swirl of olive oil and dill on top so it looks nice.

Oh yeah, and a sprinkle of pignolis would be delightful

I didn't know that myself...This area was a "melting pot" of immigrants off all types, and still is actually. Home of EJ Shoes and IBM, back in the day. Now it's a SUNY college town.

Well, made it to the hospital to see the plastic surgeon about my mole this a.m. ....You can't even get in the door without an appt. They are removing it tomorrow morning, Dr. said I'll have a 2" scar....Well, this could explain why I have had swollen glands for 6+ months...Yikes!

The one thing I was surprised about was they didn't take my temperature...They started too, but I was wearing a mask and the nurse said I could refuse it, so I did...They did make me remove my gloves for an oxygen test though.
