One of those days ...

Sometimes life is like a roller coaster. You've got to hang on until things level out. (That's me at left. Well, give or take a few pounds and put the martini in a bigger glass.)

The kid's night-time activities are kicking my butt this week. Seems like the end of the school year brings so many evening must-dos. When is there time to make a decent dinner? Some weeks are better than others on that front, even then, I try to do everything I can to avoid the drive-thru.

Here's a good dinner idea if you've only got a bit of time: Greek burgers. Grill the burgers (you can buy them already formed or even frozen) and top with thinly sliced onions and cucumber and feta cheese. I'm lucky: my kid will eat feta and onions, though he pull the cukes off. Put the burgers on whatever buns you like but I favor the French buns at Publix. Thick and sturdy.

Make a Greek salad or Mediterranean potato salad by dressing cooked chunks with an olive oil vinaigrette, scallions and chopped green pepper. Don’t forget the kalamata olives. (or buy a very plain potato salad and add olives ... and more feta.)

It's quick and pretty tasty. Now, about that martini.
