Last night, I made "Dolmas" (traditional Greek dish of Stuffed Grape Leaves).... Mmmm Mmm good! I've made them twice now, and I must say that i'm getting pretty good at them. Took some to work in a container, and they are even better after chilling overnight in the fridge. In my experience, they serve-up best with a nice greek salad, with olives, onions, feta cheese, peppers, & of course, hummus with warm pita bread. Mr. J liked them too-as I made them at his request. Very good little snack dish if you haven't tried them, that is if you are a fan of greek dishes.

That list might have been longer, but I made note of the ones that I most recognized... Let's see, to be born on this date, given the approximate gestation of humans, hmmm... That means there is alot of Holiday lovin going on during the X-mas holidays... well somewhere between then and the new year. Who says Mistletoe is harmless!! However, if you get specific with a 266 day average gestation, these guys very well could have been conceived on "Mungday" (the 5th of the month--not sure what Mungday means?
