Nervous...

Okay, so I can't really post this on Facebook or anywhere else because I have too many clients on FB, but I am competing in my first real photo competition tomorrow.  I am super nervous and have some serious knots in my stomach just thinking about it!  I know that it is good for me as a photographer to do this and that it is really beneficial.  Man, this feeling is almost worse than school critiques!!!  Wish me luck!

Yummy Greek Vinaigrette

I am a definite sucker for vinaigrettes.  At work last Friday, we had a Greek salad from a particular restaurant and the dressing was so tasty.  I was of course craving the dressing all weekend, but I refuse to pay $8.00 for lettuce, feta cheese, & dressing, so I was bound and determined to find a recipe that would be close.  (Plus I didn't really feel like driving and I almost always have the ingredients for salad dressing on hand.)  Here is the recipe I found from www.recipezaar.com.
Here it is:
1 cup olive oil
3 teaspoons garlic powder
3 teaspoons dried oregano
3 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground mustard
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 1/3 cup red wine vinegar

Mix & serve!
