Today = Good Day

Because I was unable to get to the Greek Festival last week (Yiasou!), I was deprived a gyro and baklava sundae. So, deciding that I don't have the patience to make baklava, I instead chose to make my own gyros.

Great success!

I was lucky enough to find lamb at the supermarket, but I think I could have easily used beef, or possibly even pork. The unfortunate thing was that I used lamb shoulder, which was mostly connective tissue and bone. Oh well; into the crock pot for stock you go!

Now I've got lamb stock. I have no idea what to do with lamb stock. Anybody need lamb stock?

Anyway, adding some herbs and spices to the meat is what really makes it taste Greek/Mediterranean.

Cook it, wrap it in a pita with some tzatziki and onions and you get the final product.

It wasn't as exact as I'd like, mostly because I'm used to having more of a doner kebab type of meat, but this was still good. For a first time try it was spectacular. 

The only problem now is that I have too much tzatziki left over. Looks like I'm going to be eating a lot of it with everything for the next week or so. Pop tarts and tzatziki, mashed potatoes and tzatziki, macaroni and cheese and tzatziki, ice cream and tzatziki, and so on.

And to top it all off, Time Warner finally came to an agreement with the NFL network, so not only do I get the NFL network, but also the NFL Red Zone.
