After a long week (and yes, this one was indeed a long week), nothing takes one's mind off of work more effectively than cooking a large, elaborate meal. Kevin noticed a rather appetizing picture of pastitsio in Amy Sedaris's book I Like You and said it looked good. I grew up eating pastitsio and moussaka at Kostas restaurant in Buffalo, so I was excited to make it.
What and ordeal.
I mean it:
What.
An.
Ordeal.
It was worse than Coq au vin! Three major components! Also, I made a simple Greek salad, too--cored tomatoes, English cucumbers, red onion, garlic, kalamata olives, and feta. And a homemade dressing. The two dishes together were an effing ordeal.
Fortunately, they were also delicious. And they made me forget about my work commitments! As we used to say in high school: bonus.
