Author Notes
In high school I had a friend from Greece, and if I helped her with her English homework, her mom would feed me. That was a good deal. Sadly, she returned to Greece and probably didn't learn much English grammar from me, but hey, I came out with recipes.
This is also pretty much my go to recipe for entertaining vegetarians or potlucks including vegetarians, since all my Southern recipes seem to include bacon grease... —PeachyCallahan
