Going south of the Border

We decided to try on oldy-goody: Greek Gyros. Being short on time we skipped the marination stage and cooked the chicken meat in a bit of the marinade. This actually turned out quite well (although I will cut the salt next time- but I always want to cut the salt) and we served our Gyros with fresh greens, grape tomatoes and a yogurt version of the cucumber sauce (which was great- excellent substitute for sour cream) on flour tortillas, like Greek Tacos.

Keeping with the Mexican food theme we traveled down the street from the CS building to Taco Johns and had lunch with Trey, Nick, John, Irene, Rich, and Tim. Taco Bravos for all but us, we enjoyed our lunchables (and I think our stomaches appreciated the deviation :) ) Irene had just passed her prelim the day before, so it was a happy mood all around.

Once we ran out of our Gyros, we made a pasta bake- don't know what it is but I don't prefer these bakes over regular spegetti or pasta dishes. It seems like the pasta gets a bit sawgier and everything tastes the same- it also takes about an hour to cook. While it is quick and easy to make, I don't think I will put it on my "got to have" list just yet.
