I also hope that comments are encouraging, used for asking questions, and making suggestions, not for criticisms. <BR/><BR/>This dish looks lovely. I often find that lamb can be a bit too flavorful for me so welcome the chicken (I might have to do a little of both, my husband loves lamb).gastroanthropologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225597079856823820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706674097322845247.post-61619092611757593782009-02-16T02:29:00.000-05:002009-02-16T02:29:00.000-05:00This is my first visit to your blog and I loved yo...This is my first visit to your blog and I loved your post and agree completely. Although the vast majority of the comments I receive are positive, I have been "scolded" for not making something authentic--when I never claimed it was traditional or authentic and also reducing the fat or making something healthier and "spoiling" it. I subscribe to the "if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all" philosophy. People need to think before they leave a comment sometimes. <BR/><BR/>Aloha,<BR/><BR/>DebDeb in Hawaiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12753889028487254096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706674097322845247.post-27795736286876767932009-02-15T20:39:00.000-05:002009-02-15T20:39:00.000-05:00Maria, I agree with your sentiments line for line....Maria, I agree with your sentiments line for line.

Thank you for this great post. Also, your youvetsi looks so very good - I usually make it with lamb, but this looks like a great variation. <BR/>On throumba (the name I know for the herb you're writing about - see even the names of herbs vary slightly from place to place in Greece!) - I researched it when I did my cookebook and learned it is Satureia thymbra (also known as goat's thyme or thyme-leaved savory) and a relative of summer savory. In Alaska, I approximate the flavor of Greek throumba by using a combination of summer savory and thyme.<BR/>Thanks again for this post.Laurie Constantinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662040688336742830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706674097322845247.post-24047428346949635102009-02-13T00:06:00.000-05:002009-02-13T00:06:00.000-05:00Your recipe looks great!
