So, I was at the farmer's market in Carlsbad with my Ma yesterday, where I
sampled some artichoke hummus and fell in love! It's quite yummy, and
inspiring, apparently, because I decided to use it as the basis for our
dinner tonight.
I also purchased from the same stand:
Sun Dried Tomato Hummus
Roasted Garlic Hummus
Pita
Tzatziki

Then, walking a bit further down, we found some "Greek Style" olives. The
first thing that drew my attention was hearing him tell another woman "Make
sure you don't refrigerate these, even after they're opened." Huh? He told
me they aren't bleached, like commercial olives, and therefore need no
refrigeration. Tried a couple, and they were quite good, so I bought an 8oz
jar.

So, here's dinner:
Greek Chicken skewers (marinated with lemon, garlic, oregano, and red wine
vinegar, then grilled with onions)
a HUGE salad with baby romaine, the Greek-Style olives, pepperoncinis,
cucumbers, tomatoes, and lots of feta cheese, dressed with Meyer lemon olive
oil, red wine vinegar, oregano and garlic, and fresh black pepper
Cous Cous with roasted red peppers (diced), and kalamata olives

I can't wait til the grill is ready!
What are you all having?
