Following the recipe in Food Network magazine (also available online) for “OREO” cookies, I made these heart shaped cookies for our work potluck on Friday the 13th. The filling was delicious but the cookies came out a bit harder than I liked.

Cute song!
We had dinner at Kokkari sponsored by Merck, the speaker was HOPA’s past president, Jim Koeller. He was an entertaining and knowledgeable speaker. We enjoyed an excellent dinner during his talk.
Pikilia – Greek spreads of melitzanosalata, tzatziki, & taramosalata served with dolmathes & pita bread. The spreads were flavorful and very smooth.
Spanakotiropita – traditional filo pies of spinach, feta, leeks, & dill. The crust was oh so flakey…
Horiatiki – “classic Greek salad” of tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, oregano, olives & feta. Very refreshing.
Patates sto Furno – oven roasted potato with oregano & lemon.
Horta – braised wild greens with lemon.
Arnisia Paidakia – lamb chops with lemon & oregano.
Kotopoulo Souvlas – grilled, yogurt-marinated chicken skewer with peppers & onions.
Thalasina – pan roasted fillet of white fish with olive tapenade.
Sokolatina – flourless dark chocolate cake
Baklava – traditional walnut & honey baklava with vanilla ice cream
The items of the menu are a mouthful to say but were a wonderful mouthful to eat.

For dinner last night I made coffee panna cotta with raspberries and Mandarin oranges. It’s adapted from a recipe in Martha Stewart Living (because I couldn’t find all the ingredients at Safeway).
So Ron has been taking pictures for me about our kitties new sleeping arrangements. They usually end up sleeping together only when I’m at work because once I come home, they all start wandering around looking for attention. Seems like so far, so good.
They still barely fit but they seem to like it.
Maxwell isn’t so lucky though. Ron scared him somehow from sleeping in his little cave so he’s been hiding underneath the couch and taking naps on my lap when I’m home. Last night we let him into our bedroom to sleep on the bed with us so hopefully he got a restful night’s sleep for once.
