Exercise: nope

Reading: Cinema of shadows, Michael West

Media: Dreseden files, 3 episiodes. It doesn't suck, but it's not very good either

Crafting: bat shawl. Finished the bat.

Cooking
Greek Pie

2 14.1 oz boxes Pillsbury Pie Crusts (i'm using a pie sheel)
1 lb ground beef I use ground turkey)
1/3 cup finely diced zucchini (a whole zuke)
¼ cup chopped black olives (1 can of whole, chopped)
1 teaspoon McCormick Greek Seasoning (1 TBSP)
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg lightly beaten with a splash of water.
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

I add half an onion


Tzatziki Dipping Sauce
1 cup plain Greek Yogurt such as Chobani
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic minced
2 tablespoon finely grated cucumber, peeled and seeded


Preheat oven to 400.
In a large skillet, brown ground beef stir in garlic and Greek seasoning and salt. Add zucchini and olives and continue cooking until zucchini just starts to soften. Remove from heat.
Roll out each piecrust and cut in half. Spoon a generous amount of filing onto one half of each pie crust half. Top with about a tablespoon of feta cheese. Fold dough over filling and crimp edges with a fork or pinch with your fingers. Place on a baking sheet. Continue with the rest of the pie dough and filling. Brush each pie with egg wash.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove. Serve with Tzatziki sauce.
For the sauce,
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Makes 8 pies

Home alone

Mudd and Jon and Oli went to Oklahoma today. They'll be back Tuesday.

I'm home alone!
I am hogging the fan and eating chicken and waffle flavored chips.

Ah, sweet peace and quiet.

I just know Cloud is going to explode into kittens while they are gone.
