    I suppose. "Spanakopita" is literally "spinach pie". This is
    a lamb dish with a little spinach (once it wilts down) and no crust
    (ergo, no pie).

    It's delicious! A couple of years ago my manager at work told me about
    a dish his wife made using "chopped meat" (by that, he means ground
    beef) cooked with onion, garlic and spinach. Interesting, but I thought
    to myself I can take that up a notch. Use ground lamb instead, add
    crumbled feta cheese (spinach and feta are a great pairing). The grated
    lemon zest adds a nice fragrant touch. It really is very tasty.

    Yes, it's vaguely Mediterranean. Classic spanakopita does not contain
    meat. I love spanakopita but can't be bothered fussing around with
    sheets of phyllo dough.

    about a dish his wife made using "chopped meat" (by that, he means
    ground beef) cooked with onion, garlic and spinach.  Interesting, but

    really is very tasty.
    Just yesterday I was watching a program in the food network where the
    owner of a Greek restaurant demonstrated making Shepherds pie and he
    used small chunks of meat. It was smaller than we use for stew but a lot bigger than ground meat.

    The last time I had Shepherd's pie was at a small hole in the wall
    restaurant downtown. The cook used ground lamb. I found this place was because I was walking around downtown and saw a sandwich-board type
    chalkboard sign on the sidewalk with an arrow pointing down some steps
    between two buildings. The sign read "Lunch Special: Braised Lamb
    Shanks". Oooh! I went down the steps and found a very small restaurant
    hidden underneath what used to be an old bank building. There are only
    a few tables inside but they have a nice covered pergola outside with
    seating overlooking Waterfront Park. The proprietress told me the cook
    gets great deals on lamb. The braised lamb shanks were delicious and
    the shepherd's pie I had the next time I went there was, too. They also
    make great hamburgers. The kitchen is teeny tiny. I was allowed a peek
    into the kitchen through the doorway. There is only room enough for one
    person in there at a time. It's amazing the meals that woman turned out
    given the limited space. :)

    It's a shame they don't sell smaller packages of phyllo. I know it is intimidating to work with it but it's not that bad.  You just have to organize a bit, work quickly and not worry if there is a tear or a rough edge. It doesn't matter because it will be delicious,

    Well, if the idea of shepherd's pie is as a vehicle for leftover
    roasted lamb, then small chunks make a lot of sense.

    Without getting into the Shepherds Pie Cottage Pie nonsense it our house

    Baklava is the sort of thing that you are better off to buy a piece or

    long before you can eat it.That was the problem I had with
    Galaktobouriko. That stuff is incredible but it is best eaten that day.
    It is edible the net day but by day three it us pretty disappointing.

    I was hankering for a meal at one out our favourite Greek restaurants so
    last night I checked out their menu online and I was surprised to see
    they no longer have dine in. It is all take out. I don't usually have
    room for dessert when I eat in a restaurant so when we used to go there
    I would get an order if Galaktobourika to go.

    I think I read or saw it on TV years ago that the trick to working
    phyllo dough was to keep it covered with a damp paper or cloth towel.
    It keeps it from drying out, crumbling, and turning to dust.


    I love baklava, too. Can't be bothered making it. When I lived in

    We have many gyro restaurants scattered all over Nashville.
    Some are run by the Lebanese, some by Iranians, and some by
    the Greeks and other middle eastern nationalities. All
    serve baklava on individual small Styrofoam plates and wrapped
    in plastic wrap.

    owner of a Greek restaurant demonstrated making Shepherds pie and he
    used small chunks of meat. It was smaller than we use for stew but a lot
    bigger than ground meat.

    there is such a thing as a coarse grind.

    Yes, and generally, megatron does the cooking, while officer Dave lazes
    about, due to his severe cardiac disease. He's a very sick, dying man.

    And he milks that for all he can get out of it. It always worked!]

    Then, after megatron serves the food, Officer dave whines about it.

    It's the same every day.

    I made some one day while my then teenage son was at school and told him

    baklava. He had eaten about 3/4 of it. I had never considered the
    possibility of someone eating that much baklava.

    Yes there is, but he had chopped it by hand and the pieces were 1/4" or
    more.

    I used to make that stuff. I brought some to the office. The
    receptionist liked it. She would ask me to make it for her. She did this
    for over a decade. I have that kind of effect on people.

    Possible Largest Airport Brawl Ever Erupts At Atlanta’s Spirit Airlines Gates—Police Arrive After Everyone Flees

    by Gary Leff on February 22, 2025

    https://viewfromthewing.com/possible-largest-airport-brawl-ever-erupts-at-atlantas-spirit-airlines-gates-police-arrive-after-everyone-flees/

    "A brawl broke out Friday near Spirit Airlines gates in Atlanta. This
    wasn’t just a fight, it was a collective terminal velocity of fists...

    Dozens of travelers engaged in a melee, throwing punches and kicks in
    the crowded gate area...

    Parents can be seen frantically pulling their children away from the
    violence as the terminal filled with screams and commotion...

    This incident, eligible perhaps for Guinness Book inclusion as largest
    recorded brawl at Atlanta’s airport, wasn’t sparked for any identifiable reason...

    It continued until everyone had fled the scene before law enforcement
    could arrive. Atlanta police reported that by the time officers reached
    the terminal, there were no suspects or victims present to provide information...

    What’s striking though is how long it took for police to arrive. There
    are more cameras inside airports than almost anywhere else, and more law enforcement agencies at major international airports as well. That
    includes DEA, FBI, TSA, CBP, and local police – to name just a few...

    But then it was near a Spirit Airlines gate so maybe just didn’t stand
    out as that unusual? (“Spirit Airlines: We have kick-ass prices to your destination.”)...

    Airport officials have confirmed an ongoing investigation into the
    incident but hasn’t acknowledged or apologized for the slow response
    that may hinder consequences despite video evidence..."

    NY Post:

    Musk's demand that fed employees list their accomplishments roils
    workforce: 'Mass civil disobedience'


    "Department of Government Efficiency chair Elon Musk announced that
    federal employees must report their accomplishments from the last week
    or face losing their jobs, which has roiled the federal workforce as
    some Democratic lawmakers and unions call on employees to flout the directive...

    Musk said on Saturday that federal employees would receive an email
    directing them to list their accomplishments from the week prior, with
    the DOGE leader adding later that day that the assignment should take
    less than five minutes to accomplish. Employees have until 11:59 pm on
    Monday to send the list or lose their employment, according to emails
    regarding Musk's directive that were sent by the Office of Personnel Management...

    "Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what
    they got done last week," Musk wrote on X. "Failure to respond will be
    taken as a resignation."

    "To be clear, the bar is very low here. An email with some bullet points
    that make any sense at all is acceptable! Should take less than 5 mins
    to write," Musk added...

    Musk's message followed President Donald Trump remarking that he's been
    pleased with Musk and DOGE's work investigating various federal agencies
    for government overspending, fraud and mismanagement, but that he would
    like to see Musk "get more aggressive."...

    Musk responded on X: "Will do, Mr. President!"..."

    O:-)

    Trump won last year because the American public disliked Joe Biden,
    resented the inflation that he and his party had helped cause, wanted
    the border secured, and had tired of wokeness...

    He also won because Kamala Harris was a shallow, babbling, arrogant
    idiot...

    They're too lazy to figure out where the government is actually
    wasting money, so they're just burning it all down.

    Apparently, stopping USAID is causing a big problem for lots of
    farmers who, being farmers, probably voted for Trump in large numbers.

    Go figure. They voted for the Leopards Eating Faces party, and
    behold! They got what they voted for.

    I'm late the party.  All I did was snack a bit here and there.
    Tonight I will eat the second pork chop that I cooked Wednesday
    night that I said I would eat Thursday night.

    Pork chops are better cooked fresh, but I guess that if you are a person
    who doesn't really like to cook, and who cares little about the quality
    of her food, pre-cooking and warming over is best.

    get.

    *I voted for Trump because I thought that White rural folks weren't
    getting enough respect, and now, because of his trade policies, I've
    lost the farm that has been in our family for five generation. Now I
    feel like I don't deserve to live. I hope you can forgive me someday.*

    Then, he puts his deer rifle into his mouth and pulls the trigger. 🙂


    Bryan, your above screed is why ALL of your cherished liberal
    "shibboleths" are rapidly being chucked into the "cesspit of history"...

    NY Post:

    Musk's demand that fed employees list their accomplishments roils
    workforce: 'Mass civil disobedience'


    "Department of Government Efficiency chair Elon Musk announced that
    federal employees must report their accomplishments from the last week
    or face losing their jobs, which has roiled the federal workforce as
    some Democratic lawmakers and unions call on employees to flout the directive...

    Musk said on Saturday that federal employees would receive an email
    directing them to list their accomplishments from the week prior, with
    the DOGE leader adding later that day that the assignment should take
    less than five minutes to accomplish. Employees have until 11:59 pm on
    Monday to send the list or lose their employment, according to emails regarding Musk's directive that were sent by the Office of Personnel Management...

    "Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what
    they got done last week," Musk wrote on X. "Failure to respond will be
    taken as a resignation."

    "To be clear, the bar is very low here. An email with some bullet points
    that make any sense at all is acceptable! Should take less than 5 mins
    to write," Musk added...

    Musk's message followed President Donald Trump remarking that he's been pleased with Musk and DOGE's work investigating various federal agencies
    for government overspending, fraud and mismanagement, but that he would
    like to see Musk "get more aggressive."...

    Musk responded on X: "Will do, Mr. President!"..."

    It is very funny to watch the entitled, woke public workers gnash their
    teeth and cry. They believe they are entitled to tax payers money without
    doing anything, and when once, for the first time in their life, someone
    calls them out and shows they are not doing anything, they demand that
    they should be allowed to continue living off the tax payer.

    I say, kick them all out, and let the private market absorb the ones who
    have any skills at all.

    Trump won last year because the American public disliked Joe Biden,
    resented the inflation that he and his party had helped cause, wanted
    the border secured, and had tired of wokeness...

    He also won because Kamala Harris was a shallow, babbling, arrogant
    idiot...

    😎

    As a result the US has been blessed with the best government ever! =D

    My friend is a retired airline pilot who has spent a lot of time on

    He told me about it after I told him about the dish my son introduced me
