Hungry Times Two

I love that feeling when a friend accomplishes something wonderful. Maybe because I'm a only child and thus friends often feel like family, or maybe it's just because we all need a little more raising up these days. So when I heard that a friend from the Nashville, TN area who co-founded and operates a catering business decided to share her culinary talents with the masses and create a line of bottled products, EV Originals,  I did a big ol' happy dance.

I love feta. In fact, today I ate it on a turkey sandwich for lunch & also on a flatbread pizza for dinner. I also love Kalamata olives. I add them to salads, tuna from the can with a little olive oil and oregano, and sometimes I fish the olives out of the jar and eat them over the sink, trying not to get the brine everywhere. But I usually do get the brine everywhere. So when a friend invited me to the Greek Mezes class at Whole Foods Salud! Cooking School , of course I had to go. There would be feta to consume. And hopefully olives. And maybe I could not make a total mess.
