I am the Birkenstock Contessa

Opa! I am the Birkenstock Contessa!!! One of my favorite things about having my blog is that I can take pictures of the food that I make.* Tonight's dinner was Spanakopita from the Barefoot Contessa's (Ina Garten) new cookbook "Back to Basics." I was so proud of how mine turned out that I had to take a picture with the cookbook. They were also REALLY tasty**. We had homemade Greek yogurt with fruit and honey, instead of a salad, but we kept with the whole Greek theme. If you like Spanakopita, give these a try.

Now back to making a soccer ball applique out of felt for my best friend's son's birthday present. Soccer balls*** are really hard to do out of felt, especially when you can't draw. Hopefully Ben's bag will be done soon and I'll post pictures.



*I don't think that my family truly appreciates pictures of what I made for dinner. Perhaps you don't appreciate it either, but I'm proud of myself.


**As they should be given the amount of butter and cheese that they contain.


***Or footballs, since he is in Wales
