Greek Skillet Mess ~ Recipe from Wind in the Wires by Janet Chester Bly

Greek Skillet Mess

Ginny George’s Greek Skillet Mess
Janet Chester Bly

Ginny prepared this dish one late night in a Chapter 7 scene from Wind in the Wires. She and Reba commiserated over Ginny's totaled red Jaguar and Reba just learned some terrible news about her grandmother. Hungry and emotionally spent Reba wolfed hers down. "You'd make someone a wonderful wife," she commented. "That's what my husband thought," Ginny replied. "Boy, was he wrong." Then Ginny admitted her unexpected visit with Reba had another motivation. "I've run away. We haven't been getting along." A heart-to-heart over yummy food.
