finally, recent photos of a gyro

I made a gyro with leftovers for a late breakfast this morning. I should have taken pics of the dinner in progress yesterday, but I was too busy eating since I hadn't eaten all day.

I've laid out a flatbread and the containerized meat and toppings.

ooh, anticipation

A closeup of the flatbread... they were all slightly different in size and shape, being unprofessionally rolled out.

The feta goes on.

The tzatziki and pickles go on (you can use whatever order for your toppings).

The olives, tomatoes, and cukes go on.

So that's what I'd made for the family yesterday. Prep was done in stages over a couple of days. The family rule is apparently that the person who makes the food doesn't have to do the dishes, so I enjoyed a bit of a rest after dinner.

This morning, after the gyro (which was delicious, by the way, but the flatbread was a bit stiff; remaining flatbreads will need to be microwaved with a damp paper towel), I stole some Costco(?) blackberries to put atop a small cup of Dannon plain yogurt plus a heaping teaspoon of BochaSweet thanks to my sweet tooth. (I'm taking eight bags of BochaSweet home with me, along with some other BochaSweet products, all in a second check-in bag that I'd bought at Walmart.) So, Mike, if you're reading this, know that half the blackberries are gone, and I've used up the rest of the Dannon. I think all of the Greek yogurt got used up when I'd prepped the gyros, so as far as I know, your family is currently yogurtless.

meager but good, and the berries were really fresh

Off to Pimenta for lunch soon.
