Yia Yia's Baked Shrimp with Feta

This is a simple delicious dish my M.I.L. Alexandra showed me to how to make:

2 Lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 small onion, sliced
1 green pepper, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced (this is my addition- it adds color and a little more veggies)
8-12 ounces feta, crumbled (use as little or much as you like)
salt and pepper
oregano
olive oil
2 TB tomato sauce

Mix everything together and place in oven proof dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, making sure not to overcook as shrimp becomes tough. Serve in a bowl with steamed rice or orzo. Be sure to have lots of fresh baked bread to soak up all the juices!

Tish and Takis

Our friends Tish and Takis were married this Saturday in Delaware. We were so happy to be there on such an important day! It was a beautiful weekend even if Tropical Storm Hannah decided to crash the party!

Our Preschooler!

Our big boy started preschool today! He was so excited to start, except for the fact that he thought he was going to school on a school bus (or 'cool' bus as he says) and to his great dismay, Mom and Dad drove him in the car. Damn. Oh well, he was still happy!!

Look at that smile! Love it!

Mr. Independent-I-Am-Going-To-Walk-In-Front-Of-You-'Cause-I-Am-Cool-And-Confident-And-Know-Where-I-Am-Going

We went in to his classroom and he went right over to the construction toys- he loves diggers, pushers, and haulers! When Foti and I were leaving, I leaned down to say goodbye and kiss him and guess what he said? "See ya!" Like, "Later, Mom. Whatever." What a stinker. Seriously, he had a great day- he played with new friends, read books, ate a nice lunch, napped a little and got to play outside. He is most excited that the playground has a basketball court and hoop sized just right for him. He said, "Mom, I played bak-et-ball with kids and I hooped it- two points!" Oh, and he also told on himself to me that he pushed another kid- we're working on that one. He was so tired- he was asleep by 8 pm- more than an hour and a half earlier than normal. Maybe he'll sleep past 6 am tomorrow... Wishful thinking!
