Notes: Dionysus is the Greek god of wine. ;D Unfortunately I don't have a picture on the computer.

Tell me what you guys think! I'm already developing a recipe for next year >.> something along the lines of a stuffed avacado...

I like my greek salad with no lettuce, just lots and lots of juicy marinated sliced mushrooms.
