319 : dolmas

I love Greek food, which may not be much of a surprise since I am infact, Greek. And being in charge of the Thanksgiving hor d'oeuvres this year, I thought I'd attempt a classic appetizer, dolmathes/dolmades/dolmas. Whatever you call them, they're the super yummy. Little cigar shapes of rice stuffed inside a grape leaf (we like ours sans meat). I've had them all my life but never attempted to make them until today. It was a long tedious process, and unfortunately I'm not too happy with the results. Maybe tomorrow they'll be better once the flavors have more time to blend. Maybe some shots of ouzo and some crazy authentic greek music while cooking would have been the key.

Anyone have a good recipe out there?
