I'm spread too fat

Let me just rant for a moment.
I just bought a house.
My girlfriend is moving in.
I have too much work to do.
I am not doing my daily exercise routines.
My Cretan diet has been half-assed.

Ok, that is done.

Today, I made my version of a delicious Cretan dish called Briam.

1 yellow squash, sliced thin
1 onion, sliced thin
1 large Russett potato, sliced thin
1 eggplant, sliced thin
1 red pepper, sliced thin
1 zucchini, sliced thin
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh dill
Salt and pepper to taste

1.  Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2.  In a large casserole dish, add all vegetables.
3.  Drizzle with oil.  Salt and pepper to desired taste.  Mix everything together well.
4.  Cover casserole dish tightly and bake for about an hour and a half.

It was hard to stop eating this delicious meal.  I used the sour dough bread from the Hungry Ghost to dip into the oil at the bottom of the pan.  It is amazing to me how something with no meat or cheese can taste so good.  Try it and you will see.

For lunch today I made Christine and I a hummus platter with veggies, a little piece of cheese, pesto, bread, olive oil and apples with honey and cinnamon.
I would say I have had a pretty good Cretan day.  I was at home today which made it a bit easier.
