Vόστιμα - Greek for "delicious"!

First and foremost, Happy Mother's Day to all those mamas out there!
I have an awesome Mama and we actually both get to celebrate today  -- for her, it is mother's day and for me, it's my birthday! I have had an amazing day watching Grif play football this morning, going to Church, and then playing a softball double header. Perfect way to celebrate my birthday.

After a long, busy day, I came home to cook a new meal. This was a Greek stuffed chicken (with spinach and feta cheese) and it was delicious!!! I also served Uncle Ben's Vegetable Harvest rice for our carb; I love that all I have to do is steam it in the bag for 90 seconds!  The only setbacks tonight were that I had to bake the chicken longer than I thought because they were very thick chicken breasts. Also, I had two kitchen mishaps: cut my thumb with a knife and burned my arm when taking the dish out of the oven. My Sito, which means grandmother in Arabic, always says to put Greek yogurt on burns to prevent scars and help it heal. Although I know this and was making a Greek dish tonight, I did not have any on hand... oops!

This was a delicious meal; apparently "delicious" in Greek is νόστιμα. Wish I knew how to say that - anyone know Greek? I love to travel, learn about new cultures, and new phrases/languages. I am extremely lucky in my traveling opportunities; I have been to England, Mexico, Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and some islands: Bahamas and Jamaica.

Speaking of, I am heading to France on Friday! When I get back, be prepared for pictures and descriptions of where I went and what I did. I will also have to post about some other explorations and places I traveled previously. Stay tuned for more on my travels to France, along with food I ate, drinks I drank and places I visited!
