Look interesting.  Could add other veggies also.

I have some feta in the fridge that I've been wondering what to do with. Now I know

Go for it Alexis, they are rather nice.

Is that a King Charles Spaniel you have there? 

[Alexis]

It certainly is, but she died two years ago. She lived to 14 with diabetes and a heart murmur. She was the love of our lives.

Unfortunately they don't have a really long life span but she did really well to reach 14 - my grand-dogs were only 10 when they both died of a heart complaint.  Loved them to bits and loved having to babysit them.

They're fabulous animals. You can see from her stance in the photo that she was the boss. Everything revolved around Misty.

Interesting jd .. What did they taste like??

[judydawn]

They are really nice Kim but if you don't like the hint of mint, then I would use parsley instead.
