What’s Up my Friday night Foodies!
It was market day for the Bird household! Evidently the Beet smoothie I had before we left was not nearly enough.
We all know what that means. You’re nodding your head, yesssss about right now. We’ve all been there, right?
You end up buying wayyyyy to much stuff! Lol Okay, I’ll admit it, I do have a weakness for chips and when I shop without eating first, I end up buying them. Sigh It’s okay; I’ll just ride, run or walk an extra mile or two, that should do it.
Although I must say, I picked up two new fruits today, stay tuned I’ll be sharing them soon. I think they need to ripen a bit more before I dig in!
I digressed didn’t I…
Well, anyway. Like I said, today is Friday! For those of you who don’t know, that means Food Fight Friday! My friends over at #fff hold this food-flinging, finger licking contest each week. It’s true, I’ve seen it with my own two beady eyes! I knew I had to pick up something interesting; the stakes are pretty high over there! You’ll have to check it out! The food flinging festivities are getting bigger each week!
After wandering around the market for far too long ...
I finally decided on our Friday Night Bird feast! My other half has been asking for Gyros lately (pronounced YEE-ros, and if you’re having two it’s YEE-ree), and I’ve been yearning for fries so I while chirping through the fruits and veggies I spied a fresh Rutabaga! Ah, ha! I knew that would satisfy the Friday Night French fry craving. I know my pal
loves those so she’ll be doing a Friday Night happy dance over these babies!
Fast forward to the Bird nest…
That rutabaga I picked up was a beast! I managed to wash and peeled this guy you’ll notice I had to pull out the big guns to slice this baby. Fresh and firm! Timing is crucial, I wanted everything do be done at the same time so the fries were in the oven while I started on the Burgers.
Now to the Gyros…
Burger, I flew into high gear to make the esteemed Tzatziki sauce. Everyone knows you can’t have Gyros without Tzatziki sauce. Cucumber, lemon, EVOO, Pepper, Salt and Yogurt blended like a dream in my little blender. Hot sauce anyone? How about a little Sriracha sauce for the fries? Spicy Friday night!
Everything came together quite nicely, Burgers topped with Fresh Goat Cheese, fresh julienned cucumber, red Onion and a very liberal drizzle of Tzatziki Sauce!
Friday night Feast my Foodie Friends! Time to kick back and enjoy!
Two happy Birds and another successful #fff! Be sure and stop by, you’ll never want to leave!
Thanks for stopping by!
And as always, blessings to you all!
