For California Peggy (my big fat Greek dinner)

I am not supposed to eat red meat (cholesterol issues), a loup de mer (branzo), zucchini balls (baji, if you’re familiar with Indian food terms), a red beet and apple salad, and a traditional Greek salad with cucumbers, tomato quarters, green pepper slices, feta, oregano, and oil and vinegar dressing. There was some traditional souvlaki meat, too, but it was pork, and thus not on my menu. My wife augmented the veggies with grilled white asparagus in olive oil, potato halves grilled with rosemary, and a mixture of grilled peppers (red, green and yellow). For herself and our guests, she made sort of a pseudo white sangria with a puree made from a fresh mango we had brought back from Portugal the day before.
