::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FOOD FUNNY :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I know I have run this food funny before, but I'm running it again
because I like it. Thanks to reader Vera Vague for sending it in this
time. :
An 80 year old couple were having problems remembering things,
so they decided to go to their doctor to get checked out to make sure
nothing was wrong with them. When they arrived at the doctor's,
they explained to the doctor about the problems
they were having with their memory. After checking the
couple out, the doctor tells them that they were physically okay but
might want to start writing things down and make notes to help them
remember things. The couple thanked the doctor and left.
Later that night while watching TV, the old man got up from his chair
and his wife asks, "Where are you going?" He replies, "To the
kitchen." She asks, "Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?" He
replies, "Sure."
She then asks him, "Don't you think you should write it down so you
can remember it?" He says, "No, I can remember that."
She then says, "Well I also would like some strawberries on top.
You had better write that down cause I know you'll forget that."
He says, "I can remember that, you want a bowl of ice cream with
strawberries."She replies, "Well I also would like whip cream on top.
I know you will forget that so you better write it down." With
irritation in his voice, he says, "I don't need to write that down I
can remember that." He then fumes into the kitchen.
After about 20 minutes he returns from the kitchen and hands her a
plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment and
says, "You forgot my toast."
::::::::::::::::::::::::::: TODAY'S RECIPE ::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I can't honestly say that this is an authentic Greek dish, but many of
its ingredients are Greek and it tastes great, so who cares.
Pita Stuffed with Eggs
2 Tbs (30 ml) butter or margarine
4 to 6 eggs, beaten
1 medium tomato, chopped
2 scallions (green onions, spring onions) green
and white parts, finely chopped
1/2 cup (125 ml) crumbled feta cheese
1/2 tsp (2 ml) dried oregano
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 to 6 pita breads
Melt the butter in a large skillet over moderate heat. Combine the
eggs, tomato, scallions, feta, oregano, salt, and pepper and pour into
the skillet. Cook as you would scrambled eggs, until set. Cut
pockets in the pita breads with a serrated knife. Fill the breads
with the egg mixture. If the pitas are large, you might want to cut
them in half before filling. Serves 4 to 6.
