To be sincere, I didn't have the best day today. It wasn't bad, but there was nothing that made it memorable. It was just another day. I wanted to recreate a delicious meal that I had at a restaurant in Nashville, Kalamatas. I ate a delicious lamb gyro there and figured, why not recreate it? So my goal was to accomplish just that using the ingredients we had in the house. The gyro consisted of chicken, taziki, lettuce, cucumbers, and half cooked onions. I marinated the chicken in Greek dressing (since there was no lamb available), the taziki had a twist and I used dill instead of mint and I did not add the cucumbers to the taziki, just tossed them in the pita pocket. The dish came together rather quickly. It only took me 25 minutes to complete the meal, but that was having not used fresh chicken. This meal was adequate, not splendid, but there's always tomorrow to take another chance at a wonderfully home-cooked meal. Happy cooking and Merry Christmas!
