Yep! Done it for dinner many times. Beats the hell out of a frozen
pizza. We ended up having Sloppy Joes Friday and I did the Gyros on
Saturday. Both were good. Sunday was Pork Tenderloin w/spuds and an
assortment of grilled veggies.

>Have a nice retreat.

Thanks. We did. We ended up staying 2 extra days so we got back
yesterday. We're leaving tomorrow or Saturday morning until Tuesday.
Then summer will be over and we'll be stuck in the concrete jungle
more often. (or not. LOL)

Thanks Steve. I did run it through the FP. The texture was perfect
although it looked horrible after the FP got through with it. I did
2.75 pounds. Wow is that a LOT of spices! Louise thought there was a
bit to much fenugreek so I may scale that back a bit next time. But
you're right, it comes very close to Kronos. I packed the goo in two
loaf pans to about 2 inches. After about 30 minutes I dumped the
grease and flipped the meat to brown the other side and baked for
another 15 minutes. The I cooled them briefly enough to run them
through the meat slicer. I thinly sliced a huge pile of onions and
heated them on a low flame with the meat slices on top. I wrapped the
pita in foil and warmed them in the oven while I was chopping the
tomatoes. The cucumber sauce tasted awesome but it was a bit runny.
I processed the cukes rather than chopping them and I think that was
my problem. Next time I'll just chop.

Overall I'd give you're recipe a 9.5 on a 10 scale. I'll do it again.
The only problem is I stunk big time the next day. I had to pull my
clothes out of the hamper because they stunk too!! Good Stuff!

Thanks,

Lou

I was introduced to Mickey's Big Mouth on a sailboat. The owner found that
he could fit more of the shorter bottles in the refrigeration unit than cans
or any other bottles.

Yes, I like it much better for cooking than for drinking.
