Out with the old in with the new

Good morning from Athens!  There are a bunch of new customs that are essential to living in Athens.  Eat gyros is one of them.  So far we have managed to eat at least one gyro a day since we have been here.  And for on 2 euros per why not?!  I was reading one of the travel books last night that said Monstraki square is also know as "slouvaki" (greek word for gyro) row.  Good thing we are only two blocks from there!  Last night we went for a run....around the Acropolis, no big deal!

The locals were looking at us like we were idiots, but maybe its bc we had to run through the shopping district.  This is were Athens definitely differs from London.  In London everyone was running, whereas here I have yet to see a single person running.   It is crazy how flat the terrain is around much of the city and then its like walking up a 45 degree incline around the Acropolis.  Today we are showing the others where the market is, because they are definitely jealous of the great deals we got on all the food we bought yesterday!

Does anyone have any suggestions of what we could make for meals??  The requirements are it has to be simple, meat and vegetables, and spices.  Last night we made tacos and it was weird trying to make the taco seasonings from scratch rather than just ripping a packet open.  But they turned out alright.  I had mouth watering lamb chops over this fall, but cant remember the recipe...

Suggestions are welcomed and encouraged!
